Merchant's description

Kapcsándy Rapszodia 2014 is a Cabernet-based blend from the State Lane Vineyard in Yountville, Napa Valley. Reflecting the cool-climate influence of the site, it offers a bouquet of dark berries, forest floor and exotic spices, supported by a firm but increasingly integrated tannic frame. The palate is medium-bodied and elegant, with a vibrant acidity and fine tannins that carry the finish.
