Wine of the Week for September 11, 2006

Lindemans Bin 85 Pinot Grigio 2005 - $10.95
Style: W3
Australia

The gray pinot is still on a roll, although the field is getting a bit over-crowded. Look for lemon and grapefruit aromas, with nuances of pine bough, ripe apple and spice. The palate is a bit raw, but pleasant enough, with a brisk acidity, apple and baked lemon flavour and a slightly sour tail end. Body and length are quite good. A tad in-elegant but decent and would work well with roast chicken, medium-flavoured fish, or sushi. (LCBO 668947)
