Kapcsándy Family Winery found its place in the sun when it launched, with Helen Turley at the helm. She's since moved on, but Kapcsándy continues to garner 100 point scores from Robert Parker. Certainly, the 2007 State Lane Napa Valley Estate Cuvée is both multifaceted and voluptuous with layers of cola, black cherries, blackberries, butterscotch, espresso grounds, smoke, and tar. It's still tightly wound, with firm tannins drenched in black fruit, bittersweet chocolate, peppercorns and sun dried tomato. — 10 years ago

The Blue Slide has always been my favorite bottling of all the Martinellis that Helen makes. Her personal favorite as well. Still with a few more years of life in it. — 12 years ago
Tried this at La Toque in Napa and loved it so much, I bought 6 bottles the next day from Helen and DJ. I've been buying it ever since...long before she made the cover of WS. — 12 years ago
