The always immaculate Kapcsandy “Rapszodia” Cabernet Franc has long been a personal favorite – and it’s one of the few Napa Valley Cabernet Francs that can stand toe-to-toe with the winery’s estate flagship Cabernet Sauvignon. With a glowing review of 99 points from Jeb Dunnuck, this is a gem that would make any Napa collection shine a bit brighter.
A visit to Bordeaux in the late ‘90s is what inspired Hungarian immigrant Lou Kapcsándy to start his own estate, a dream he undertook with his son, Louis Jr. The entire valley floor estate was replanted in the early 2000s, with a gorgeous winery to follow soon after. Although most people mispronounce the wine/winery (say it with me: “Cup-chon-dy”), it has still grown to be among the upper echelon of Napa Estates, cracking the 100-point barrier more than a handful of times.
This is 100% Cabernet Franc from the Kapcsandy’s Yountville estate, and a wine of harmonious and lasting purity – Jeb called it “just about pure perfection in a glass” after all! With a crunchy, bursting blueberry and blackberry core, it explodes from the glass in layers of dark fruit, wildflowers, tarragon, black tea, and pencil lead. Exquisitely balanced, generously concentrated but not at all heavy… this is one you sincerely need in your cellar. Better to add two and get our mega two bottle price drop AND free shipping!
FOOD PAIRINGS: A juicy fresh chili-lime chicken burger and this rich, poised Franc would absolutely slap (as the children say).
