St Clair 2012 Pinot Noir

Variety: Pinot Noir
Region: Marlborough, NZ
Vintage: 2012
Colour: Cherry red
Alcohol: ?
Bouquet: Earthy nose of dry earth which has just received light rain
Flavour: Not particularly complex. The mulberry fruit flavours were slightly gluggy but the tannins present compensated and brought balance. Full and gentle.
Points: (3+7+11+6+7+50) 84
Notes: The third wine tasted. $19 and probably the cheapest wine of the selection of nine presented. Solid although slightly fruitier than I prefer.
