Morrisons & The Wine Society Part 3 (not blind this time)

Posted by Simon on March 27, 2010

The 3rd installment of wines from the Wine Society and Morrisons.

The Society’s Pinot Grigio 2008 (Lorenzon), IGT Venezia Giulia, Veneto, Italy (£7.95/£7.08 The Wine Society)
Starts of nice and cream, with fresh apple, pear and nectarine flavours and even a touch of (yes) aspirin, but just let down by a slightly flat finish. B-

The Society’s Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine sur Lie 2008 (Chéreau-Carré), Loire, France (£6.50 The Wine Society)
Has a bracing Atlantic briny tang, but it’s backed up with lots of green apple, citrus and bready/yeasty character. B+

The Society’s French Dry White Pays d’Oc 2009 (Domaine du Bosc), Languedoc, France (£5.75/£5.17 The Wine Society)
Some zippy pear and ripe citrus, almost Bordeaux-like, just a touch soft, almost too friendly, needs a little more zest to keep it fresh. C+

Montana Sauvignon Blanc 2008, Marlborough, New Zealand (£8.19/£6 Morrisons)
All zip and zest, clean, green and grassy, with a touch of green pepper, but it’s in balance with the riper edges. B+
