Esterházy 2009 Cuvée Eiswein White (Burgenland)

  1. $60
With the heart-stopping acidity and intensity of an ice wine, this is an orange marmalade- and honey-flavored wine. It has a poised freshness to go with that great fruit flavor, delicious to drink now but sure to age.  — R.V.  (3/1/2012)

Esterházy 2009 Cuvée Trockenbeerenauslese White (Burgenland)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $69
Showing apricot and honey flavors with a refreshing dash of lemon acidity, this is an intensely sweet and rich wine. The texture is smooth, mellifluous, the dryness of botrytis providing just the right contrast. For aging over many years.  — R.V.  (3/1/2012)

Esterházy 2009 Estoras Red (Burgenland)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $40
This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Blaufränkisch is dominated by the black currant flavors of the Cabernet. It is tight at this young stage with firm fruit tannins that lie under the acidity. This is a wine for long-term aging over at least 6 years.  — R.V.  (3/1/2012)

Esterházy 2009 Tesoro Red (Burgenland)

  1. $115
Very smooth, concentrated blend of Merlot and Blaufränkisch. There are considerable smoky wood flavors along with ripe berry fruit notes and a dark, firm edge that will soften as the wine ages. It has power, density and finishes dry. Age for 5–6 years.  — R.V.  (3/1/2012)

Esterházy 2009 Föllig Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)

  1. $65
Rich, spicy wine with many flavors of new wood to go with the blackberry acidity and dark tannins. It is developing into a smooth and polished wine, ripe and, at the end, deliciously juicy.  — R.V.  (3/1/2012)

Esterházy 2009 Lama Chardonnay (Burgenland)

  1. $50
A spicy, wood-aged Chardonnay, its ripe tropical fruit deliciously melded into the texture. It is rounded and full-bodied with a fine citrus acidity among all the richness. Age for another and it will be delicious.  — R.V.  (3/1/2012)

Esterházy 2009 Cuvée Beerenauslese White (Burgenland)

  1. $35
As much rich as sweet, this is a honey- and dry botrytis-flavored wine, with tropical mango flavors complementing lemon acidity. It’s a complex, intense wine, textured and ageworthy. Screwcap.  — R.V.  (3/1/2012)

Esterházy 2010 Estoras Sauvignon Blanc (Burgenland)

  1. $38
More tropical than herbaceous, this gooseberry- and pineapple-flavored wine is balanced and fresh. Its ripe character is concentrated all the way to the taut, fresh finish.  — R.V.  (3/1/2012)
