One of the top-rated Cabernets of the 2011 vintage. Limited. 95+ Points Antonio Galloni: "The 2011 Estate Cuvee is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. Sweet tobacco, wild flowers, mint, licorice, fennel and mint all meld together in a perfumed, gracious wine graced with stunning elegance and refinement. The 2011 is less obvious than either the 2010 or 2012, but it is more fragrant and perfumed. Clean, saline notes support the striking finish. The blend is 56% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Robert Parker: "In all of my travels throughout the world I have met few producers who can match Lou Kapcsandy’s passion and total dedication to excellence. Along with his son Louis and consulting winemaker Denis Malbec, Lou Kapcsandy continues to craft exceptional wines loaded with class and pedigree. Every wine in this lineup, from the newly expanded selection of roses, to the flagship reds and the fortified wine is well worth your time."

Nice acidity, tannins still tight, red fruit a lot of red/sour cherry/black raspberry. medium finish. Hope it softens upon aging

Nice for 2011 year. This merlot dominated right bank blend is very approachable now. It has a nice backbone of sweet berry and oak with a hint of cinnamon sugar on the finish.
