Tasting - Little Penguin Pinot Noir with the Hill Family

Name: Little Penguin Pinot Noir
Variety: Pinot Noir
Region: South Eastern Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2010
Price: $5.99

Winery Review: Australian wines have long dominated the import category here in the united States. While Pinot Noir has become one of the most popular varietals, the Little Penguin's home is still an untapped region for Pinot Noir. Seeing the potential in Australia to become the next big producer of Pinot Noir, The Little Penguin is pleased to announce the latest addition to the family.

My Review: Ok so my opinion of Little Penguin was not improved with this wine. Has a very thin color and had no legs to it. The smell was lighter and not as strong as the other. The taste was light and thin. Fruitier than the shiraz but not after taste. Quoting my uncle it tasted like grape juice without the sugar. A very flat wine.
