Eric, 2011 is the current vintage Nationally for wine. Wildman received 800 6-packs, and roughly 40% will be sold in California. The 2011 is delicious and beginning to evolve with secondary character and richness. Cost gets down to $10.67 per bottle wholesale. Great value. Will gladly share a bottle with you any time.

Eric, I am in SF, so when you are in SF, please let me know. I look forward to sharing a bottle with you. As I am sure you already know, the area where the Chateau Bela estate is located was once under Hungarian rule. It's on the banks of the Danube directly across the river from current Hungary.

9.0

From the Cazenuve family, with Daniel Llose (of AXA MIllésimes) as consulting oenologist. Grapes are hand picked in cagettes; rare for any Bordeoux wines at this price point. Aged 15 months in 1/3 new barriques, blended late. The wine is of substantial flesh on the forefront, with warm undertones of coffee and tobacco, and admirable grip. — 13 years ago

Dang I wish there was more of this shit. Established in 1997 by American Anthony Hwang (same owner of Dom. Huet) and restored in 1999. Consulting winemaker Noel Pinguet who left in 2011 made this exemplary dry Hungarian blend of 80% Furnint and 20% Hárslevelu from the vineyards of Percze, Henye, Becsek and Nyulászó (mixture of red and yellow clays as well as volcanic and stone strewn vineyards). Fermented in 100% Hungarian large oak barrels for 5 months. Oak is evident but not invasive, a whipping cream like smell to the nose with polished stone and kaffir lime, honey, lanolin, orange blossom, stone fruits a touch of botrytis and white mushroom. Acid reins here, and sticks to the tongue and cheeks like saline minerals and crushed quartz. Wish I hadn't finished it so quickly. Dang. — 13 years ago
