Including 5% Merlot and checking in at 14.2% natural alcohol the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Cuvee sports a semi-opaque ruby hue to go with a classic almost old-school Cabernet nose of red and black currants chocolate sandalwood freshly sharpened pencils and dried herbs. A more elegant complex nuanced Cabernet it's medium to full-bodied and has ripe yet building tannins good acidity and a great finish. All about purity precision and elegance while not sacrificing intensity or richness this gorgeous Château Margaux-like Cabernet Sauvignon needs to be hidden for 4-5 years if not a decade and will drink brilliantly over the following 20-30 years.

The 2019 Estate Cuvée offers tremendous density power and textural intensity almost shockingly so for these wines especially compared to the 2018 which is its diametric opposite stylistically. The wine's density and sheer tannic heft are imposing. There is just a bit of reduction that needs time to dissipate. Ripe red-fleshed fruit sage lavender plum and mint flesh out in a Cabernet Sauvignon that marries power density and energy. This is impressive to say the least. - By Antonio Galloni on October 2021 It was quite difficult to visit Kapcsándy winery and taste the wines just a few days after Lou Kapcsándy passed away. Having known him for over a decade though I am pretty sure Lou Kapcsándy would have wanted the show to go on. The 2019s are stunning wines led by 100% Franc Rapszodia which is just brilliant. Overall the 2019s have a bit more volume than most vintages here but the wines retain their personalities.
