Bock 2003 Capella Cuvée Red (Villány)
- $78
This Cab blend proves that Hungarian reds are becoming more of a contender on a global level. An enticing wave of pepper and wooded spice on the nose rolls into flavors of juicy red fruit, pepper, raspberry and wood on the tongue. The structure is solid but elegant, so though the wine can age, it’s good to drink now. Balanced and stylish overall.

What a lovely wine this is from Hungary, with its heady cedar/cigarbox and plum aromas and elegant, plush flavors. Soft tannins, good structure, and ageability add to the wine's appeal. Complexity without a headache--a wine with class.

A great example of what can be done with Bordeaux-style wines in Hungary. Heady and deep spice and plum aromas are followed by a restrained, elegant mesh of soft fruit and pepper in the mouth. Integrated and poised.

Bock 2000 Cuvée Barrique Red (Villány)
- $48
The rich, spicy and savory nose evoke the food for which the country is known, and this wine would undoubtedly pair well with full-bodied, spiced meats and stews. Its full, spicy nose leads into dependable flavors of red berry, wooded spice and pepper, with a slightly bitter, smoked edge. Not a terribly complex wine, but solid and tasty nonetheless.

Bock 2003 Special Reserve Kekfrankos (Villány)
- $15
This is a good, friendly Hungarian red at a comfortable price. Cinnamon and anise on the nose unfold into medium-bodied flavors of black pepper and red berry on the palate, sucessfully balancing the fruit and spice elements of the wine. The finish is slightly bitter and short but overall, the wine has a supple, flavorful quality that recommends it.

Bock 1999 Bock Cuvée Barrique Red (Villány)
- Online Exclusive
- $52
The price is a bit steep for this attractive Bordeaux blend from Hungary, but it does deliver on many levels. Sppealing pepper and mocha on the nose, and a balanced blend of pepper, spice and fruit on the palate, will satisfy versatile palates. It feels slightly tired, but the overall structure is good and the finish lingers.

Bock 2004 Hárslevelü (Villány)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Earthier mint and toasted oak on the nose lead this unique white wine from Hungary. On the palate, toasty butter and cream are pleasant and balanced. Slight one-dimensional but overall, a pretty nice everyday sipper.

Bock 2002 Royal Cuvée Red (Villány)
- Online Exclusive
- $29
A vegetal earthy nose leads into flavors of red berry tartness and a smoky edge that borders on burnt. Cabernet and Cab Franc offer spice, liveliness and weight, but not the complexity one would expect.
