| Burgess Cellars |
 | | Burgess traces its origins to an original winery on the property in the
1880's. Since 1972, Napa Valley pioneer Tom Burgess and his family have
followed the belief that it is vital to grow only those varietals
ideally suited to a particular vineyard's soil composition, sun and wind
exposure, and overall micro-climate. The French refer to this as
"terroir," and it certainly explains the consistent aromas and flavors
found in the hillside Burgess Cabernet Sauvignon.
Over the years
three distinct estate vineyard sites have been cultivated and nurtured
to create the very best handcrafted wines. The Burgess flagship wine,
Cabernet Sauvignon, thrives on the western slopes of Howell Mountain
near the winery; Merlot is ideally suited to the Triere Vineyard on the
Napa Valley floor in the Oak Knoll AVA just south of Yountville; Syrah
is perfectly matched to conditions in the estate vineyard site on the
eastern slope of Howell Mountain.
| Burgess is somewhat unique in
the Napa Valley today, in that it is truly a family-owned winery which
has employed the same gifted winemaker, Bill Sorenson, since the
winery's re-birth in 1972.
