I pulled into the driveway of this winery in Napa a few years back on a lark. A few days ago, I saw this bottle at Bondi in Bed Stuy and bought it remembering the excellent tasting that knocked more famous wineries low. Burgess is cut into a hillside on Howell Mountain and is one of the older privately owned wineries in Napa. This bottle is ready to drink. Blackberry, espresso, and herbaceous notes of anise and mint. Full-bodied and a steal at the $21 I paid for it. — 10 years ago

I've never had a Malbec from California. Dusty black berry, leather, black pepper. Grippy, but softened up after a 75 minute decant. Could probably age a couple years. — 10 years ago

Lots of tropical lush fruits on the nose. A juicy mango and peach make this such an inviting wine. A true semi-sweet makes this a joy as a dry wine drinker. Enough sweetness to pair with a nice sharp cheese platter. — 10 years ago
