The 2010 Kapcsandy Roberta's Reserve State Lane is a proprietary blend hailing from the esteemed Napa region in California's North Coast. Produced by the Kapcsandy Family Winery, this wine is a notable mix of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, featuring a robust 14.5% alcohol content and sealed with a traditional cork closure.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave this wine an impressive score of 97, describing it as "luxurious, voluptuous and in-your-face." The review highlights its saturated ruby/purple color and complex flavor profile, which includes "Asian plum sauce, white chocolate, kirsch, and a subtle smoky note." Parker commends its "superb richness and a full-bodied mouthfeel," noting that despite its tannic structure, it is versatile enough to be enjoyed soon or stored for several decades.

Wine Spectator provided a slightly more conservative score of 91, emphasizing the wine's "firm and tightly wound" nature. The publication notes a "rich and complex core" with flavors of "black currant and dried herbs," complemented by "accents of tomato leaf, olive, and tart cherry." According to Wine Spectator, the 2010 Roberta's Reserve will reach its peak between 2015 and 2020, indicating a need for some aging to fully develop its potential.

Jeff Leve from TheWineCellarInsider.com rated the wine at 95, praising it as a "really great expression of Napa in an elegant style." Leve appreciates the "perfectly ripe, generous, fresh" fruit and the "round, soft and polished" tannins. He describes a finish that showcases "fleshy, ripe, juicy, sweet blackberry, boysenberry, dark chocolate, and earthy notes," concluding that "everything is working here," and noting that the wine is drinking exceptionally well at present.

The 2010 Kapcsandy Roberta's Reserve State Lane stands out for its complexity, elegance, and potential for both immediate enjoyment and long-term cellaring, making it a noteworthy choice for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
