Today’s 2007 Burgess Cellars Napa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is art in a bottle. It is magic that hails from the increasingly important 99 point (Wine Spectator) 2007 Napa Cabernet vintage.

Today’s 2007 Burgess Cellars Napa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon inspired a very spirited conversation about the art that is winemaking. This conversation came about after tasting some really good wines - and then tasting this really superb wine. The discussion was broader than we can share with you here, but we all agreed that as a winemaker matures and as his or her vineyards also mature, the winemaker’s talents also evolve… sometimes to the point when that talent presents as bottled art. Today’s wine is one which reinforces this somewhat esoteric tenet.

This wine will instantly appeal to lovers of mountain fruit Cabernet. The wine entices you with an inviting nose of rich and classic Napa Cab aromas. On the palate, it has great texture and structure, delivering rich and concentrated flavors. The finish is very long with flavors that last long after you’ve taken your last sip.

Enjoy this very highly recommended and very food friendly wine now - and cellar some for the next 4 to 6 years.

2007 Vintage Update: Wine Spectator recently awarded the 2007 Napa Valley vintage an astounding 99 point score, declaring: “With near-perfect growing conditions and a small crop, the grapes [in 2007] reached ideal ripeness, and the wines show uncommon richness and complexity, a lush texture and impeccable balance.” This rating is the highest since 1997, leading Zachys to say, “If you love Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and its blends from Napa Valley…NOW is the time to load up before these last remaining wines disappear! The Wine Advocate’s final reviews on late releasing 2007s are due out this December but don’t expect these wines to be still available then.
