Burgess 2016 Contadina Cabernet

Looking for a wine that is rich, full-bodied and has a long, velvety finish? Look no further than our 2016 Contadina Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. This wine has received high praise from both Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator, earning 92 and 91 points respectively. The 2016 vintage is a tribute to the strong, matriarchal farming families who first planted the slopes in the 1870s and laid the foundation for Burgess. The cooler than normal temperates during the ripening season allowed for a steady, gradual ripening process, resulting in a wine with good complexity and natural acidity. With notes of ripe blue and black fruit, mint, sage, and sweet tobacco, this wine is sure to satisfy your taste buds. So why wait?

92 POINTS - "Rich and velvety like devil's food cake, this deep, delicious and full-bodied wine tastes like chocolate, cloves and cinnamon and feels plush in texture. Soft tannins and super ripe black cherries and blueberries make it easy to enjoy." Wine Enthusiast

91 POINTS - "This gives off sanguine and sandalwood hints as the core of gentle-edged black cherry and plum fruit flavors opens slowly. As it does, flashes of tobacco and singed cedar notes blossom through the finish, ending with a tug of warm humus. An old school wine that should reward further cellaring. Drink now through 2032. 8,000 cases made" - Wine Spectator

A dense and concentrated cabernet with aromas and flavors of confectionary blackberry and stewed cassis. The lush fruit is brought into balance by high tone herbalaromatics of mint, sage, and sweet tobacco. The distinctively thick-skinned Cabernetgrapes provide a long velvety finish.
