2021 Kapcsandy Estate Cuvee Cabernet Sauvignon

JD97+ Bottled two months prior to the tasting, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Cuv e checks in as 99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Merlot brought up in 70% new oak. It has a beautiful core of darker red and black fruits as well as notes of smoked tobacco, chocolate, and spring flowers and has terrific purity as well as freshness. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and layered, it’s a beautiful, elegant, layered Cabernet Sauvignon that will evolve for 30 years and be drinkable for almost all of it.
TWI96 The 2021 State Lane Vineyard Estate Cuvee Cabernet Sauvignon, with 1% Merlot in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. It charges out of the gate with rambunctious notes of boysenberry preserves, warm cassis, and blackberry pie followed by nuances of licorice, dark chocolate, tar, and cardamom with a waft of graphite. The medium to full-bodied palate is bright and energetic, with vibrant black and red berry layers and a seductively soft texture, lifted by a refreshing line and finishing long and wonderfully pure. 350 cases were made.
VIN95 The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Cuvée is fabulous. Rich, dense and explosive, the 2021 shows just how compelling this vintage is. Black cherry, plum, mocha, new leather, licorice, spice and dried herbs all build effortlessly in the glass. There’s a good bit of tannin heft here, but the sheer richness of the fruit nearly buries it. The persistent, aromatic finish is striking
