Sauska Wines

Sort By:

Sauska 2010 Cuvée 13 Red (Villány)

Price $27

Cuvée 13 is Sauska’s entry-level bottling, but its elegance and structure seem to indicate otherwise. Sweet and just a bit earthy on the nose, the palate is pristine with a concentrated core of crisp black fruit accented by sprays of fresh mint and violet. A beautifully balanced example of dry Hungarian red wine. — A.I. (12/15/2011)

Sauska 2008 Cuvée 11 Red (Villány)

Price $37

Sauska’s premiere bottling, the Cuvée 11 has a hefty dose of Cabernet Franc, giving it a distinct spice and bramble character. It’s not a dainty wine at 15% abv, but the palate is clean with focused red fruit accented by fresh herbs and balanced tannins. — A.I. (12/15/2011)

Sauska 2007 Cuvée 7 Red (Villány)

Price $55

Rich and sweet on the nose with whiffs of black fruit, cherry vanilla and dark chocolate, Sauska’s premiere bottling is unabashedly approachable, yet composed in style. It’s a big wine at 15% abv, but fairly clean on the palate with a bright acidity and a cocoa powder layer of tannins on the finish. — A.I. (12/15/2011)

Sauska 2009 Birsalmás Furmint (Tokaj)

Price $43

Buttery and rich with hints of roasted nuts and vanilla caramel, Sauska’s single varietal dry Furmint is undeniably big and oaky, but nicely concentrated on the palate with a bold fruit profile and a bright shower of acidity in the midpalate. Finishes quite long with a whisper of smoke and bitter nut skins — A.I. (12/15/2011)

Sauska 2009 Cuvée 113 White (Tokaj)

Price $25

Apple blossoms and sweetpea notes accent fleshy sweet melon and roasted hazelnut flavors on this unctuous, full-bodied Hungarian dry white. Brisk lemony acidity and a bitter lemon pith note add balance and verve on the finish. — A.I. (12/15/2011)

Sauska 2010 Rosé (Villány)

Price $19

Perfectly dry, yet bursting with pure, ripe red fruit, Sauska’s rosé would be a refreshingly easy apéritif to be enjoyed anytime of the year. Made with a hefty dose of Blaufränkisch, it’s clean and fresh on the palate with pretty wildflower notes and zippy sour cherry acidity. — A.I. (12/15/2011)
