Image of Graham Beck via SnoothGraham Beck Sparkling Brut NV South Africa.. blended from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. very soft and fizzy.. good value for the price..

MudHouse Sauvignon Blanc New Zealand 2010. South Island specific winery. true to the region nose of cat pee on the evergreen tree.. the mouth was a little different.. less grapefruit and more soft. softer side of sauv blanc.. more food friendly

Graham Beck Gamekeepers Reserve Chenin Blanc 2008.. loads of minerality.. almost loire in style but not that sharp.  a little tropical fruit on the finish.. another soft wine

Mud House Pinot Noir 2010 Central Otago. the southernmost wine growing region in the world. dark fruits on the palate but again a softness that would be good for beginners to Pinot Noir. more experience pinot drinkers may find it too unchallenging

Graham Beck Game Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2008  pretty fruity nose, soft and a little gamey on the finish.. gamey in a good way.. would work well with wild game or tougher meats. acidity was good.. a little high in alcohol but not annoyingly so

Skyleaf riesling 2009 New Zealand.. lots of slate and mineral and the beginning of petroleum. again with the softer style of riesling.. not german and not american... interesting
