BODY OF PINOT NOIR

[danieladelicious]

A collegue of mine swore up and down that pinot noir is a full bodied red wine. I had taken a wine course back in 2001 with a sommelier from Windows on The World and was taught that, generally, pinot noir is a light bodied red even though the grape is changing. We had a heated debate and he actually recommended a pinot noir that we sell to someone who loves robust bordeuax blends and hearty caberbets. I disgreed with him, and said although pinot can be robust and rich, its body is not FULL. I know that full bodied pinot noirs exist, but was I wrong? I did some research and many websites state pinot noir to be a FULL BODIED RED WINE. what is the answer to this debate???
