The Social Web Wine Word of the Week - Fruit Weight

The Marquis Fruit Weight is their measure of quality. It's the percentage of your palate (from the tip to the very back of your tongue) that's covered by the velvety sensation of fruit that occurs when a wine's tannins, alcohol and acid are perfectly balanced. 

Mentions: Sarah Marquis, Sparky Marquis, Les Sargeant, Holly Marquis, Rare Earth Retreats, M&J Becker Wines, Robert Parker, Cara and Keelan Dickson and Rosemary Manor.
