J.W. Burgess
We are a small, family winery in the heart of the Napa Valley founded in 1972. We specialize in Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot.
Burgess Cellars, located on the slopes of Howell Mountain in Napa Valley, focuses on creating exceptional, hand-crafted estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Syrah.
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; Read more »

Burgess Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Vintage Selection 2001
Snoothrank:
The wine has a deep violet color, with a good bit of opacity, and a brighter ruby along the edges. The nose is an interesting combination of leather, ripe plum bordering on prune, mint and an earthy, barnyard sort of smell. The taste is very fruit forward, with a burst of ripe cherries and blackberries that settle into some cedar and Asian spi... Read More

Burgess Pinot Noir Napa Valley 1979
Snoothrank:
This is remarkably youthful on the nose with tight dark fruit and touches of licorice. On the palate there is less to like. The wine retains some anonymous dark fruit in are very blocky, chunky style that highlights the drying wood tannins, and lack of fruit on the palate. Its still an interesting wine but not much more. 82pts Read More
