What's this about?

The fastest way for us to help you find the wines you'll love (and avoid the wines you won't ) is for you to spend 30 seconds to tell us about your wine tastes. We use these answers, together with your wine ratings to build a detailed profile of your personal tastes. We match your taste profile to our wines taste profile to find the wines that match. Even if it's a grape you don't know, from a place you don't know, made by a person you have never heard of. For example, if you tell us that you like Rioja, we have an Argentinean Malbec that you will adore. And a Spanish Grenache that will blow your socks off.

Fresh, acidic and slightly jammy, which I think comes from the Cab Franc. However, the style is slightly lighter than expected considering there's Cab involved. Could do with a little more depth.

Jock Harvey's wines are never short on flavour. This is a supersaturated vanilla and blackfuits stunner. Some would say that it is too sweet and heavy but there are times when wines like this are just pure hedonism.

Deep fruit spiced with a sweet molasses undertone. Drinkable on its own or as a rich accompaniment to most red meats. If you don't like wine that's on the sweet side yiou probably won't like this. However, the full bodied fruitiness provides pretty good camouflage.

Gosh this is cloyingly sweet. Not difficult to drink, I can enjoy it, but it's too sweet for me. It is amazingly sweet, with some body but not enough complexity to counter. Would need matching with something specific, maybe something Oriental with soy sauce and a similarly sweet element.

Lovely dark red colour with aromas of dark fruit. delicious taste with an aftertaste of dark fruit - damsons I thought. Really enjoyed and looking forward to tasting some of this in a few years when it re-emerges from my cellar! Watch this space.
