Mission Codename Wine as Art
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 their 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.
Today’s 2007 Burgess Cellars Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a thrilling, elegant and beautifully balanced wine that hails from the increasingly important 2007 vintage. We work hard to bring you extraordinary wines from this vintage, which Robert Parker awarded a decade-high 96 points.
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 sip.
Enjoy this very highly recommended and very food friendly wine now - and cellar some for the next 4 to 6 years.
