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.

Kapcsándy fans will find much to admire in the estate’s 2018s and 2019s. The 2018s have come together beautifully since I tasted them from barrel. That is especially true of the 100% Cabernet Franc Rapszodia. Franc can be a moody variety. Perhaps that is one of the reasons it is seldom bottled on its own. In barrel, the 2018 Rapszodia came across as light, but from bottle it’s a completely different story. As good as the 2018s are, the 2019s are truly stratospheric. That is obvious in tasting the Estate Cuvée, always the first wine in the lineup. Incidentally, I tasted all the 2019s as final blends, one of the benefits of a later tasting this time around.

It's always a pleasure to stop by Kapcsándy. Lou and Louis Kapcsándy's singular focus on quality is evident in every decision. The fifteen-acre estate vineyard is divided into fifteen blocks. Any blocks that don't perform as expected or have issues are immediately replanted. The 2017s have come together since I tasted them from barrel. In 2017, the Rapszodia is 100% Cabernet Franc while the Grand Vin is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. There is a purity to the wines that I find alluring. The 2018s are embryonic, but they have been deeply impressive on the two occasions I have tasted them so far.
