I totally understand I opened this before I probably should, but I don’t regret it one but. New World Cab Franc made to absolute perfection. Smell brings a floral, green earth with butter/olive oil. First sip- (pure bliss) blueberry pie and dried lilac. As it sits, you get charred poblano peppers. American Oak really delivers. A truly inspiration wine, with a lot of thought. — 3 years ago

Had to explain today how good these 1970’s wines from Burgess Cellars were. I may not have immediately thought it was Pinot Noir but it clearly was an older wine with plenty of charisma. Back when most Pinot Noir was insipid and nondescript this one became something special. — 5 years ago

Classy Napa black fruited red blend. Chalky soft tannins. Should have decanted — 5 years ago

Starting to fall but still integrated nicely. Smores, campfire, flint, miatake mushrooms, stewed strawberries. — 5 years ago

Gorgeous old Petite Sirah - old pipe tobacco, ripe plums, five-spice, liqueur like finish. Super rare now but I love these older Burgess wines. — 6 years ago

Very nice blend. Had the 2013 with Kim at 1776. Took some time to open but worth the wait. — 3 years ago

Brighter and more complex than many from California. This wine really came alive with a complex shrimp in caper tomato cream sauce. A real delight. — 5 years ago

White peach, white flowers, smoky mineral backbone. A classic Sancerre. Pairs well with back patios overlooking the Burgess Creek in Steamboat. — 5 years ago

Feels like it has started to come together but needs a few years (5yr). Motor oil-tar, leather, dark fruits, oak and alc. — 5 years ago

What. A. Wine. Very light smell- dark berries, floral, bit of oak. Taste blew me away. Crisp boysenberry that gets jammy as it lingers. In the middle I’m getting a really unique aged taste, dried currants with pleasant oak and floral notes. Feels like a journey with this wine from start to finish. It’s an extremely unique wine from my favorite stop from Napa! I love love LOVE this wine!! — 4 years ago

I’m not celebrating my birthday until the weekend but it’s always nice to have something the actual day of - thank you @James Forsyth for sharing this!! It’s delicious, the black currant really makes this taste 😍 chef’s kiss, as we millennials say. Almost dangerously good, it really tastes like the black currant juice I drink in Germany.
Also thank you to @Shea Bove @Matthew Burgess @Claire Troussieux for making today fun 🥳 — 5 years ago

This is actually 72-82, a solera of the first 10 years of burgess. Figs, hazelnuts, malt chocolate, floral dried, sandalwood, bark, sun dried tomato, brown sugar, pot de creme. Finishes a bit hot. Complex. Beautiful! — 5 years ago

It needed a few minutes to gather itself but it did open, mature, vanilla bean, earth/leather, sweet cherries, tobacco-shop and spice. Obviously drink it now - storage is everything - special. — 5 years ago
