2023 Kapcsandy Family Winery State Lane Vineyard Estate Cuvee, Napa Valley, USA

Incredible stuff, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Cuvée (aged 19 months in 70% new French oak) offers up loads of cassis, graphite, crushed stone, and lead pencil shaving-like aromatics in a medium to full-bodied, pure, focused, oh, so layered, elegant package. It has some upfront charm yet the balance and purity to evolve gracefully for 15-20 years. Drink 2025-2045.
