Tasty and reliable. Nothing too exciting, just a nice light pinot. — a year ago

On the nose, savory, wild, dark berries, blue berries, black raspberries, raspberries, smoke, vanilla, light cinnamon, fresh dark florals and moist black earth. The palate is leaner medium. The tannins are soft and round. Bright, ripe fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, plum, dark cherries, moist dark earth, stones, soft leather, wood shavings, steeped black fruit tea, dark fresh florals, bright round acidity and a round, fresh, ripe, fruity finish. Excellent for around $25. Producer notes...Dr. János Stumpf studied under Tibor Gál, internationally known winemaker of SuperTuscan Ornalia. Dr. Stumpf dry farms approximately 15 hectares of vines on the south facing hill of Eged. They are split between two vineyards with very similar conditions, Sik Dülö and EgedHegy Dülö or the Eged Hill Vineyard. Both are planted in almost pure limestone on a 20% grade situated about half way up the hill...the mid point of a hill or slope is an excellent location for angle to the sun. Aged in mostly large 500L barrels (3/4 new) which; allowes for very slow oxidation and a more nuanced influence of oak. After an average of 20 months in barrel, they are kept in separate lots until the final blend. All wines were bottled unfiltered and stored for a minimum of 1 year before release. Pairings; herbed pheasant, lamb, pungent creamy cheeses and whole grain based dishes like barley or faro. For the authentic experience, wild venison is recommended. — 7 years ago
Fascinating. Grenache gris and blanc + carignan gris and blanc. Pronounced nose. Smokiness, salt, gentle fishiness; butteriness, ginger, pale apricot and honey dew melon pit as it opens up. Dry, high acid, medium to high alcohol, full body, textured, pronounced but delicate flavour intensity, very long finish. Very saline which combined with acid creates an lovely grip.

Not usually a fan of fruity herbaceous wines but the nose on this is unreal, like an expensive musky perfume. The first taste is slightly effervescent with a dry minerality with white fruit. Lovely. — 5 years ago
Really good. Tense, firm, subtle animal beneath the red fruit. — 7 years ago
