A young and bright red from the Kadarka grape. Tastes light a good Burgundy. Impressive, just not really my style. Excellent with our dinner in Budapest.

Yet another relatively unknown grape, Kadarka traces it's origins to the Szekszárd region of Hungry. For me, it's somewhat reminiscent of Blaufränkisch, which, interestingly also originates from Szekszárd. Ruby-hued and aromatic, ebullient notes of red fruit, roses and subtle spice tumble forth. It's equally generous on the palate with low tannins, balanced by a nice pop of acidity that gives lift to pie cherries, raspberries and a carefree pinch of tobacco. 13.0% ABV | Sample

Great wine for the summer months, loads of fresh fruit and great acidity.

A suggested purchase by the gentleman at Back Room Wines in Napa. Let me just say this: they know what's up!

Dry cranberries, pomegranate, ripe strawberries, bing cherries, red licorice, an array of baking spices, a touch earthy & brambly. It's a bit like Gamay with strong structure. Sweet for a red wine.

I could drink gallons of this. Tons of fruit, a touch of smoky, light tannins, and best with a touch of chill. God bless Hungary.
