Kapcsándy Family Winery Roberta's Reserve State Lane Vineyard Merlot Cabernet Franc 2019

100 points                                                                     One of the top-rated Cabernets of the vintage from Kapcsandy. Limited. 98-100 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2019 Roberta's Reserve is another stunning wine from Kapcsándy. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, cloves, licorice and leather all race across the palate. In 2019, the Roberta's is a bit richer than it usually is, but that works just fine in amplifying all of its natural beauty. All of the fruit was sourced from one of the original blocks planted by Helen Turley and John Wetlaufer in 2002." 97 Points Robert Parker: "Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Roberta's Reserve State Lane Vineyard bursts with notions of juicy black plums, boysenberry preserves and chocolate-covered cherries, plus suggestions of licorice, cedar chest and charcuterie with an exotic waft of Indian spices. The lively, medium to full-bodied palate is completely filled with seductive, spicy fruit, framed by ripe, rounded tannins, finishing long and fragrant. Made from 100% Merlot, aged in 70% new French oak, the alcohol is 14.5%. 225 cases were made. ...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."
