Characteristically pinot noir to look at - light red, almost translucent. A strong nose of plum and other dark fruits. Very smooth taste at the start (almost a little too so). Not much flavour mid-way through, though a tad more oomph towards the finish. A very soft aftertaste, which may not be to your liking if you prefer dry wine. Probably would go well with an inexpensive Indian, red meat curry.

A decent sparkling wine for a low-key celebration. Strong hints of Granny Smith apple on the nose, with a whiff of old fashioned ladies' perfume. Mostly apple cider at the start with a little too much bite mid-way through. Finish is quite tart at first, although it gets better with drinking. Not overly dry. Would be well-matched with salmon blini or similar.

Nose of molasses and oak. Strong dark berry flavours, but not overly sweet. Very smooth, soft finish (almost overly soft?). A very easy drinking wine, but not suited to being on its own - suited to being alongside red meats or cheese.

A subtle, not overly potent nose with small hints of wood and a little chocolate. Very little flavour to start, some flavour and very dry mid-way through tasting and at the finish. Dark fruit flavours and some chocolate on the palate. Strong, dry after-taste. Best paired with red meat. Cellaring may bring out the flavours.
