Kapcsandy Family Winery, State Lane Vineyard Estate Cuvee Cabernet Sauvignon

Kapcsandy Family Winery, State Lane Vineyard Estate Cuvee Cabernet SauvignonThe 2016 Estate Cuve has turned out beautifully. Pliant, supple and inviting, the 2016 Estate Cuve is one of the most refined wines I have tasted from Kapcsndy. Silky tannins and lifted, savory aromatics add to an impression of polish. The Cabernet Sauvignon savory notes are quite prominent, while the addition of 16% Roberta's Merlot helps fill out the mid palate beautifully. This is such a pretty wine. Antonio Galloni

intense and powerful

with phenomenal length and ripe

An airy and elegant nose offers up cool and smoky aromas of essence of pear and an assortment of citrus elements

indeed it’s like a smaller version of a fine Riche

This doesn’t have quite the same grace as the Combottes but it’s definitely a quality effort as it’s built-to-age and a wine that’s going to need at least half a dozen years of patience first while rewarding 15+

fruit-driven wine that has ample savory fruit and a forward personality

weight and power as well as a bit more complexity to the mineral-driven and impeccably well-balanced finish that is both explosive and palate staining

high-toned and equally airy nose reflects notes of pure essence of red pinot fruit that is sprinkled with floral

Offering up an incipiently complex bouquet of orchard fruit

blackberry pie and prunes with hints of cardamom
