Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2016

The pinnacle for Bordeaux varietals in the 38 years that I have been tasting California wines is 2013. There is just an extra gear in all of the wines, great acids, profound concentration and wonderful integrated tannin...

The 2013 Kapcsandy Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Cuvee from the esteemed Kapcsandy Family Winery is a red wine produced in the North Coast region of Napa, California. This vintage comprises 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot, aged for 20 months in oak barrels before being bottled unfiltered. With an alcohol content of 13.0%, this wine showcases the finesse and depth characteristic of a classic Bordeaux blend.

James Suckling, a respected voice in wine criticism, awarded this wine a score of 95, noting its "wonderful tension and form" with flavors and aromas of chocolate, currant, and stone. He describes the wine as having "full body, ultra-fine tannins and a long and flavorful finish," emphasizing its stylish nature and suggesting it will improve with time, though it's tempting to enjoy now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate bestowed an even higher score of 97, praising the 2013 vintage as "the pinnacle for Bordeaux varietals" in California. The review highlights the wine's "great acids, profound concentration and wonderful integrated tannin," pointing out its ability to age gracefully over the next three decades. The review draws parallels to the celebrated 2001 vintage, noting the wine's "phenomenal intensity, spectacular texture, length and overall balance."

Both reviews commend the wine's potential for aging, with Parker particularly enthusiastic about its evolution over time. The 2013 Estate Cuvee State Lane Vineyard is highlighted as a standout example of craftsmanship, appealing to those who appreciate deep, complex wines with a promise of longevity. Its combination of rich flavors and structured elegance makes it a notable choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
