2010 Kapcsándy Family Winery Roberta's Reserve State Lane Vineyard, USA, California, Napa, Wine Review
This is one of the best Merlot's made anywhere. Period. The attention to detail and the quality of fruit is amazing. Certainly some vintages are better than others, but it is always phenomenal. There is 5% Cabernet Franc in the blend. Deep ruby/purple in color, opaque and shimmering bright. A wonderful nose of black cherries, plums, slight kirsch, slight dark chocolate, and minerals. Full bodied with a lush texture. Flavors of sour cherries, black raspberries and plums intertwined with minerality, dark chocolate and slight spice. Light tannins. Lots of verve, it dances on the tong
