2004 Kapcsandy Family Winery

State Line Vineyard

I tasted this wine recently and found it to be an extremely well made, well balanced wine. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40 % Merlot. Deep ruby color with hints of blueberries, chocolate, toast and licorice. Full bodied and an absolute gem of a wine. Great front, mid and back palate with a long finish. This is a wine than will go for another decade or more. $120 . If you find it the price would undoubtedly be much higher. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of drinking this delectable liquid.

Just finished a bottle of Charles B. Mitchell Vineyard Sierra Foothills Reserve Zinfandel. This was a typical Amador County Zin. Berry, plum, hint of cola and spice. Good body, fruit hits you on the front and mid palate then a nice long finish. It takes me 3 days to drink a bottle of wine and this one did change and soften slightly at the third day.
