Kapcsándy Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin State Lane Vineyard Yountville Napa Valley 2007 (Magnum 1.5L)

Reviews

100 -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -

Very deep purple in color, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin State Lane Vineyard is still a baby on the nose, sporting extravagant crème de cassis, blueberry pie and spice box notes with hints of dried lavender, aged meat, tilled soil and Sichuan pepper notes with a touch of tobacco. Medium-bodied and firm with fine-grained tannins and wonderful freshness, it gives layer upon layer of black fruit and earth notions, finishing very long. Give it another 4-5 years in bottle and drink it over the next 20+.

95+ -Vinous -

Saturated dark ruby. Less expressive and more medicinal and brooding on the nose than the Roberta's, offering extremely primary scents of cassis, licorice, bitter chocolate and violet. Then fat, full and strong on the palate, showing the sweetness of the Roberta's but not that wine's plushness of texture. Currently dominated by intense black fruits, spices and violet. Finishes with a savory dryness and slightly tough, chewy tannins that still need time to resolve. This wine strikes me as being in a rather clenched phase of its evolution, but it has the mid-palate extract to support its serious tannic load. (14.4% alcohol, 98% new French and 2% new Hungarian oak)

The 2007 Grand Vin from State Lane Vineyard is a benchmark of old-school Napa power refined by precision and age. Fully mature in magnum, it layers cassis, black cherry, graphite, tobacco leaf, and cocoa with a savory, loamy undertone that speaks clearly of Yountville. The palate is seamless and resonant, with resolved tannins, expansive mid-palate depth, and a finish that lingers with quiet authority—an impeccable, ready-to-drink Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate 100-point classic.

About The Producer

Kapcsándy Family Winery, established in 2000 by Hungarian immigrant Lou Kapcsándy and his family, is a boutique, family-run estate located in Yountville, Napa Valley. The winery is situated on the historic 20-acre State Lane Vineyard, formerly a key source for Beringer's Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. After acquiring the property, the Kapcsándy family undertook an extensive replanting effort, meticulously dividing the vineyard into 15 specific blocks planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. They employed sustainable farming practices, including the use of nesting boxes and cover crops, to enhance vineyard health and biodiversity. The winery's commitment to quality is evident in their rigorous vineyard management and winemaking processes, resulting in highly acclaimed wines such as their Estate Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon and Roberta's Reserve Merlot. Following Lou's passing in 2021, his son, Louis Jr., continues to uphold the family's dedication to producing wines that reflect the finesse and elegance reminiscent of European grand crus.
