Kapcsandy State Lane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Grand-Vin 2015
100 Points, Jeb Dunnuck – 99 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
“A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin State Lane Vineyard is pure perfection and undeniably one of the greatest wines in this terrific vintage. With a Château Latour like stature and depth, full-bodied richness, and incredible notes of blue fruits, crushed violets, tobacco, forest floor, and huge minerality, this tight, backward, concentrated 2015 is for those with patience and a cold cellar, but it’s a legendary wine in the making. Bravo!”

Composed of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin State Lane Vineyard sports a deep purple-black color and has a classic nose of crushed black currants, black plums and cedar with hints of dried Mediterranean herbs, underbrush, smoked meats and cloves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has youthful exuberance with tight-knit, muscular black fruits and spicy suggestions framed by firm, grainy tannins, finishing with great length and depth. Should age incredibly!
Kapcsándy is a legendary name in Napa Valley, created by Hungarian immigrant Lou Kapcsándy, who acquired the historic State Lane Vineyard site in Yountville in 2000 (previously owned by Beringer).
Lou’s mission was simple: take the principles of Bordeaux Premier Cru elegance and bring them to Napa, focusing on restraint, depth, and extreme longevity, rather than the high-octane extraction typical of the region. The estate is meticulously farmed, certified organic, and its rise to cult status was immediate, consistently achieving perfect or near-perfect scores from top critics. I have a few bottles of one of those perfect 100-point masterpieces.
