It was only a few short years ago that I tasted the Kapcsandy family's first release (2003) with Lou Jr. late one evening in the Georgian Room at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle. That wine showed promise, but the 2006s and 2007s I tasted at the winery in March have fully capitalized on the quality of the old State Lane Vineyard on the Yountville Crossroad, where cool afternoon breezes off San Pablo Bay to the south lengthen the growing season, often well into October. Today's wines show more successful integration of oak than the earlier vintages, as well as more regular fruit ripeness. According to Lou Sr., 2007 brought a lower crop level, but the wines are "higher in everything." The merlot yields were cut back by shatter and loose, light clusters, and a good bit of shriveled fruit had to be tossed out at the harvest, which took place soon after the Labor Day heat spike. Denis Malbec, who served as cellarmaster at Chateau Latour during the second half of the '90s, and Rob Lawson have been responsible for making these wines since 2005. As these vines are now only nine years old, the future for this property appears bright.
