Burgess Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Award-Winning Napa Valley Red Wine with Velvety Texture & Complex Flavors

Crafted from premium Howell Mountain grapes, this 93-point rated Cabernet Sauvignon blends Cabernet from Burgess’s Sorenson Vineyard with Petit Verdot and Malbec from the elevated Haymaker site. Aged in French oak (15% new) for refined structure, it delivers dark fruit richness—think blackberry, cassis, and spiced chocolate—balanced by herbal notes of mint and sweet tobacco.

Why Choose This Wine?

• Critically Acclaimed: Rated 93 by Wine & Spirits for its “textural grace” and 92 by Wine Enthusiast as “rich and velvety like devil’s food cake.”
• Distinct Terroir: West-facing Howell Mountain vines yield thick-skinned Cabernet grapes for depth, while east-facing Haymaker adds elevation-driven complexity.
• Silky Finish: Lush, full-bodied with soft tannins and a long velvety finish, perfect for pairing with grilled meats or aged cheeses.

Tasting Notes: Aromas of confectionary blackberry and stewed cassis unfold into flavors of cloves, cinnamon, and superripe cherries. The palate is plush yet balanced, with a marrow-bone savor and an airy, breezy close.
