Well made and drinking wonderful. Sebastiani Cherry Block will not be the same now that winemaker Mark Lyon is leaving after nearly 40 years at the helm. — 9 years ago

One of winemaker Dave Paige's first vintages at the helm is drinking great. Who says Oregon Pinot can't last? This bottle not even peaking — 9 years ago

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

Napa SBs may be out of my wheelhouse, but with Dan Petroski at the helm, acidity & freshness are givens. Super. — 11 years ago

Think: Phenomenal Cotes du Rhone made from high caliber Washington fruit, with a Master of wine (Bob Betz) at the helm. Highly, highly recommend. — 12 years ago

Opening night of the Bastion, patron selected, five course, back room restaurant in Nashville. Feeling very privileged and fortunate to be under the guidance of sommelier extraordinaire Chelsea and the staff of passionate chefs behind the round with Josh at the helm. I am not popping my collar but I have been lucky enough to have purely memorable meals in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Italy, France, and in the US. Bastion, with praise, lands on my Olympic podium of memorable meals. Visit soon. I see only 22 seats in the room. — 9 years ago

Wine of the Night. And worthy of the complete spelling. That nose is like no other. Very few people make Chinon caliber Cab Franc in CA. I wish more people did. Thanks for taking the helm Jeff. Swish. — 9 years ago

Pretty sure J. Alban was still at the helm this vintage-shockingly beautiful wine out of magnum tonight. — 10 years ago

Pale straw colour. Lifted with tropical fruits, lime, flowers and minerality. Clean and crisp citrus acids with green apple and grapefruit on the palate. Long dry finish. Very good. — 10 years ago

Black plum, a touch of mint, and unsmoked cigar on the nose, classic lush, sexy body with nice acid and well rounded tannins. A touch of spicy rye and loads of dense fruit on the palate.. Rolland at the helm makes this a steal for the money. — 10 years ago

Very nice cab sav, goes down smoothly, hint of bitterness but it's good. — 11 years ago

Pretty awesome wine, made while Tim Mondavi was still at the helm, has the power and finesse that only exists in classic Napa, green characters, red fruits, black fruits, vanilla oak, tannin, body, length, acid, the whole package. — 12 years ago

Strong showing for this 7-year-old. Nose hits Chablis notes that I appreciate, while suggesting more orchard fruit and arriving with a more delicate and round mouthfeel. Happy to have purchased and consumed!! Helm PHL — 9 years ago

Nice berries and spice on the nose. A bit light in taste but in balance and just got better with some richness in the finish. Great with another excellent dinner at Helm — 9 years ago

Deep and dark red crimson colour. Rich blackcurrant, blackberries and plums on the nose with chocolate, liquorice, herbs and spices, followed by vanilla oak. The palate is full of sun-touched dark berries with supple tannins. Dry and savoury, well balanced lovely wine. Very elegant matured wine and it's already ready to consume now. Outstanding. — 10 years ago

14 year old vines as it states on the back label. Pretty simple but it's all in balance and to taste preserved lemon and sherbet which I love. 92/100 — 10 years ago

I picked the fruit that made this wine for one of my (then almost) husbands good friends. And now one of my favourite ladies is at the helm and I couldn't be more proud! — 11 years ago
