Gere Attila 2007 Solus Merlot (Villány)
- Online Exclusive
- $76
The Solus Merlot is unabashedly ambitious, with upfront vanilla from toasty new oak, a high level of extraction and a dense, black core of ripe fruit. It’s full bodied, with steely tannins and a long finish of fig and char. Try with a pan-seared steak.

Gere Attila 2006 Kopar Red (Villány)
- Online Exclusive
- $60
This blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot is rich, complex and brawny, with strawberry on the nose, raspberry on the tongue, and a firm structure of fresh acidity and dense tannins. Best after a few years in the cellar.

Gere Attila 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Villány)
- $29
A bright, spicy, appetizing nose recommends this, and on the tongue, the wine continues to impress. Balanced flavors of deep berry, mocha and warming spice offer heft without heaviness, and the finish is both long and full of character. The wine has a friendly nature that lends it to food pairing.

Gere Attila 2003 Barrique Cabernet Sauvignon (Villány)
- Online Exclusive
- $29
Soft and integrated aromas and taut flavors of blackberry, blackcurrant and smoke give this French-style wine class and poise. Its dry, clean quality, good structure and flavorful fruit means it will age well, but drink now and you will not be disappointed. Another thumbs up for Hungarian winemaking.

Gere Attila 2003 Solus Merlot (Villány)
- $77
A spicy, gamy nose of cloves and red berry lead on this impressive Merlot, and on the palate, it’s assertive but smooth, with spicy smoke and clove waves and a slightly tart berry character. Substantial tannin means it can age and be paired with more robust meat dishes.

Gere Attila 2004 Kopár Cuvée Red (Villány)
- $50
All of the hallmarks of a good Bordeaux blend are here—earthy, wooded spice, rich fruit flavors, a hearty character. The wine is elegant and assertive, but a slight red berry tartness, oak sweetness and heat throw its balance off just slightly. The overall impression, though, is good. Pair with beef stew or grilled lamb for a real treat.

Gere Attila 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Villány)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
A good introduction to the better reds of Hungary, this Cabernet Sauvignon shows ripe berry character on the nose and notes of plums and stewed fruit in the mouth. What it lacks in freshness, it makes up for in concentration and ambition. Try with beef stew. Best now but will last a few years.

Gere Attila 2003 Kopár Cuvée Red (Villány)
- Online Exclusive
- $52
Hungarian red wines continue to impress, and this selection from Villany is no exception. Soft and elegant fruit aromas are followed by restrained pepper and spice on the palate. The wine is a touch angular in its tautness but with food, will be a hit.
