Lindemans Bin 85 Pinot Grigio

I tried this wine this week. At first I was not sure what to think of it. I didn't really like it all that much because I found that it was too plain.

The website http://www.lindemans.com.au/OurWines.aspx#&bins&bin_85_pinot_grigio says:

LINDEMAN'S Bin 85 Pinot Grigio is unoaked, highlighting the variety's distinctive, fresh green apple and pear characters.



Colour- Pale straw with green edges.
Nose- The nose shows tropical fruit aromas, stone fruit notes and subtle hints of integrated spicy oak.
Palate- A delightful medium bodied Chardonnay with excellent varietal flavours of melon and white peach. The palate is soft and smooth with gentle oak influence and cleansing acidity, creating a crisp yet lengthy finish.
 
 
I say:
 
The colour is dead on, and the smell is beautiful and fruity.
 
I found that the taste was definitely smooth and soft with a very slight hint of oak however I found this wine a bit bland. I wouldn't say that this was a crisp wine, I found it to be more soft.
 
This wine only contains 11% alcohol so it's a nice wine to have with lunch if your having grilled fish. I wouldn't have this wine with fish that is spicy or overly flavourful because I find that you lose the taste of the wine.
 
I also tried this wine with old cheddar, that was a huge mistake, it did not go well together at all. If you are having cheese with this wine, I would recommend something creamy such as Brie or Mozzarella.
