Berry and a hint of what’s to come on the nose. Dried cherries and light pepper on the mouthfeel. We paired with roasted pheasant and asparagus which was AMAZING — 4 years ago

Paired nicely to roast pheasant with mushroom duxelle. Drinking well at nearly 8 years of age. Little funk, lot of green olive. — 6 years ago

Wow, just had this with a meal of lamb & eggplant lasagna. Until tonight, Tempranillo was our go-to wine for this meal. Enjoying another glass as dessert. Not as earthy as expected, but the hints of spice balanced well. Overall a bit lighter than other pinots. Beautiful color, but definitely not dark or deep to the eye. Picked this tasty critter up on a tasting tour several months ago and am glad I did. I can imagine this going well with pheasant. — 6 years ago

This Chardonnay has rounded sugars, a peach flower nose, marzipan with strong fruit on the palate, nutty toasted pecan finish that's not cloying at all. A really surprising wine! — 8 years 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

This is pretty nice. Medium bodied and lively with just a hint of brett. Raspberry fruit accompanied by sage, thyme, and a bit of barnyard (Maybe rather than barnyard, it’s closer to the smell when you gut a wild pheasant. Not unpleasant, just gamey and distinctive.) — 5 years ago
