Merlot dominated with just a kiss (2%) of Cabernet Franc, this is a prime example of Kapcsándy’s commitment to flawless wine – we only wish there were more than 175 cases of it to go around! This is as close as it gets to Chateau Petrus in California, a Merlot of such tremendous power and long-aging potential with incredible richness and elegance. Hide it for five years and enjoy it for two decades, just don’t miss the evolution of this creamy, expansive Merlot that Antonio Galloni calls, “In a word: Superb.”

The 2018 Roberta's Reserve is all elegance, all class. But it is also more reserved than it was a year ago. That's probably a very good thing for its long-term prospects, though. In 2018, the Roberta's is especially fine and understated. I can't wait to taste it in another few years' time. That 2018 retrospective will be here before you know it!

The Merlot-dominated 2018 Roberta's Reserve (there is 2% Cabernet Franc) is also deeply hued and has a great nose of smoked black and blue fruits, gravelly earth, chocolate, and tobacco. As with all the wines here, it has incredible purity of fruit, the tannins are just about perfect, and it’s flawlessly balanced. Hide bottles for 4-5 years and enjoy over the following 15-20 years.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Roberta's Reserve State Lane Vineyard was aged in French oak, 75% new. Deep garnet-purple in color, it comes bounding out of the glass with energetic notes of crushed red and black plums, boysenberries and Morello cherries plus hints of blueberry pie, camphor, dark chocolate, star anise and bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a solid foundation of ripe, rounded tannins and bold freshness supporting the generous, crunchy black and red fruit, finishing long and lifted.
