2014 | Kapcsándy | Robertas Reserve

The Kapcsandy Family Winery was only established in 2005 but has already fostered a superb reputation for producing extremely limited quantities of exceptionally high-quality wine. Roberta’s Reserve in 2014 is a blend of 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc made in the mould of the finest Right Bank Bordeaux. This is a deliciously sumptuous release saturated with notes of blue and black fruits, mocha, dried flowers and spices. Although young the tannins are sweet and exceptionally fine-grained, allowing for early consumption but giving enough structure to age.

Producer Information

The Kapcsandy story is a classic American story on how to succeed in the land of opportunity with hard work and determination.After fleeing his homeland in the days after the brutal crushing by the Soviet Army of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, Lou Sr. came to America and eventually settled in the San Francisco Bay Area. He married Roberta Henson in 1964, eventually settled in Seattle, Washington at the end of 1973, with their son, Louis Jr.In 1998, on a visit to Bordeaux, France, Lou and Bobbie experienced a seminal moment that ironically set them on the path of being vineyard owners themselves. With great anticipation, Lou and Bobbie arrived at the centuries-old estate Leoville Las Cases (St. Julien), on a beutiful summer day, on invite for a private luncheon hosted by the estates' patriarch, Michel Delon. Over the course of the next five hours they were astounded by Mr. Delon's warmth and generosity, as was Mr. Delon fascinated by Lou's encyclopedic knowledge of not just the wines and history of Leoville Las Cases and Bordeaux, but of Burgundy, Champagne and the American estates and their terriors Lou was convinced could rival their hallowed French counterparts.
