The Kapcsandy family purchased the old State Lane Vineyard on the Yountville Crossroad in 2000 (this fruit had been sold to Beringer for many years) and replanted the vines the following year with the assistance of Helen Turley and John Wetlaufer. Lou Senior credits Wetlaufer with convincing him to plant the rows along a magnetic north/south axis, which in recent hot years has prevented the fruit from being burned on the west side of the vines. Turley made the 2003 and 2004 vintages, with Denis Malbec and Rob Lawson taking over in 2005. The vines are planted at a dense 1 by 1.5 meters and yields are kept low for valley-floor fruit (2.9 tons per acre in 2004 and just 2.7 in 2005). The soil here is mostly gravel over clay, and the site features pronounced diurnal temperature variation, thanks in part to cooling breezes from San Pablo Bay to the south. Even in the hottest years, notes Kapcsandy, the berries plump up at night, and the wines typically show aromatic red fruit character with violet, lavender and mineral components-"like Graves with some cabernet from the Right Bank. They're not alcoholic fruit bombs." Even the 2004 is a moderate-for-the-vintage 14.5%. In 2003 and 2004 there was just a single estate wine; with the 2005 vintage, the first crop vinified at the new facility on the property, there will also be a second label and a merlot/cabernet franc blend-about 2,000 cases among the three cuvees.
