Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2013

The less expensive 2010 Endre (53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc aged in both French and Hungarian oak) is very Bordeaux like. Notes of bouquet garni, red and black currants...

, December 2017

Deep purple core transitioning to a translucent garnet rim. The nose is a myriad of blackberries, red and purple flowers and broken stones. The palate is a close echo of the nose landing on the juicy side of the...

Wine Spectator, November 2013

Offers a rugged mix of crushed rock, dried berry and dried herb. Ausone-like in terms of austerity and minerality, this is tight, dry and tannic. The most closed and reticent of the new Kapcsándy 2010s. Cabernet...

The 2010 Kapcsándy Family Winery Endre is a Bordeaux-style red blend from the estate’s State Lane Vineyard in Yountville, Napa Valley. The blend is 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, with the balance Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, and it was aged in both French and Hungarian oak, according to Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. At 14.99% alcohol (as reported by Bordeaux Index), it sits at the riper end of the winery’s generally restrained reputation, yet critics consistently frame it in a more classic, structured register.

The headline review is Robert Parker’s 94-point score—an excellent endorsement in a vintage where he found the estate “exceptionally successful.” Parker calls the Endre “very Bordeaux like,” highlighting “bouquet garni, red and black currants and loamy soil.” He emphasizes that it is “medium-bodied” with “excellent texture” and “an elegant style,” adding that it appears to be “a faster evolving effort than its siblings” and should “drink well for 10–15 years.”

Wine Spectator is a bit more reserved at 90 points, but its notes reinforce the wine’s deliberate, mineral-leaning structure. James Laube describes a “rugged mix of crushed rock, dried berry and dried herb,” and even likens it to “Ausone-like” austerity and minerality. He calls it “tight, dry and tannic,” and “the most closed and reticent of the new Kapcsándy 2010s,” signaling that patience is rewarded rather than immediate plushness.

Wine Spectator reports 2,400 cases made and suggests a drinking window of 2014–2024. Taken together, the reviews point to a classically styled Napa blend: savory, soil- and herb-inflected fruit, firm tannins, and a composed build that reads more Left Bank than Valley-floor opulence.
