body
The extract of fruit and alcoholic strength which together give an impression of weight in the mouth. Another way to think of this is the sensation of texture a wine has in your mouth. Examples of wines having a "full" body are Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, and some white Chardonnays. "Delicate" body is often found in Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, or Semillon.
