The wine flaunts a remarkable balance, with its concentrated, powerful profile of cassis and black raspberry-driven fruit. Tantalizing notes of tobacco, graphite, spicy oak, and espresso roast add impressive depth and intrigue. The purity is off the charts, suggesting flawless balance and incredible length.
The 2021 Kapcsandy Family Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin State Lane Vineyard is not just a wine; it's an experience. And while it is undoubtedly a delight to savor now, it promises an even more exciting future, deserving 5-7 years of bottle age and boasting an impressive 30-40 years overall longevity.
