Stoneleigh Marlborough Pinot Noir 2013

The last time it was Australia, now we're headed to New Zealand for a pinot noir.  While I like medium-bodied beaujolais, I am not that fond of mild wines so please judge my review accordingly. If you are a fan of pinot noir then you will probably feel much differently about this wine than I do.

It is described as a medium-bodied wine but it is a rather mild offering in my opinion.  Low acidity, and mild pleasant flavors make this wine drinkable.  Slight berry and chalk are most noticeable.  What I have discovered in my personal wine education is that I should steer clear of pinot noir wines.  I usually don't mind them and they are very drinkable but they lack the stronger flavors and personality I enjoy. If you like mild wines of this variety then you will enjoy it more than I did.  It reminds me of the Greek St. George I reviewed earlier but with better flavors. A pinot noir at this price is not one I will buy again...but you might.

Recommendation:  Uncork if you like pinot noir
Rating: 7 out of 10
