The Winery
Kapcsandy Winery
Lou and Bobbie Kapcsandy’s journey toward winery ownership began in France at a very long lunch with the owners of Leoville Las Cases. It was only fitting that when they began their adventure they employed Denis Malbec as their winemaker. Malbec spent his childhood in the cellar at Chateau Latour with his father, and was winemaker there until 1999. His French education shows in his wines which are beautifully integrated, balanced, and display wonderful purity of fruit. All their wines are built to age and ready to be in your cellar.
Tasting Notes
- WA93
- Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2009 Estate Cuvee State Lane Vineyard spent 20 months in 100% French oak, and like all the Kapcsandy dry reds came in under 14% alcohol, in this case, 13.5%. A true synthesis between Napa Valley’s bold and exuberant richness and the more subtle elegance of France, this wine exhibits a deep ruby/plum color, hints of white chocolate, black currants, and bouquet garni, decent acidity and a stylish, medium-bodied, spicy, ripe mouthfeel. It can be drunk now or cellared for 15-20 years.
