BODY OF PINOT NOIR

[Thomas]

Brappy,

I agree with you--mostly.

As my post pointed out--or tried to--the grape is essentially medium bodied and high acid at maturity. What wineries do to it after that is another story.

I love its elegance and finesse and, unlike KC, I think those rich, lush wines are not representative of the wonderful p.n. qualities. I also think producers beat the damned thing up with all that over ripe, add back water, and who knows what else processing. And when they add syrah to the mix, well then, which wine is it?
