Wine Spectator, November 2012

A substantial effort that weaves together dense, earthy, clay-laced currant, dark berry, sage and cedar. Slow to unfold, but does so gracefully and gets better with each sip. Best from 2013 through 2028. – JL

The 2009 Kapcsandy Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin State Lane Vineyard is a noteworthy wine from Napa, California, produced by the Kapcsandy Family Winery. This vintage is a blend primarily composed of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon with small additions of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. It is characterized by its dense ruby/purple color and a complex array of aromas and flavors.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this wine an impressive score of 95, describing it as "more closed but potentially greater" with notes of licorice, crème de cassis, camphor, and subtle toast. Parker highlights its full-bodied and concentrated nature, noting that it represents 15% of the total Kapcsandy production and has a relatively low alcohol content of 13.7%, a result of the cooler and less ripe years from 2009 to 2011.

Wine Spectator also gave the wine a favorable review, scoring it 93 points. The publication describes the wine as a "substantial effort" that intricately blends flavors of dense, earthy, clay-laced currant, dark berry, sage, and cedar. The review notes that while the wine is "slow to unfold," it does so gracefully and improves with each sip, recommending it is best enjoyed from 2013 through 2028.
