WE DRANK THREE BOTTLES OF THE '95 THIS PAST WEEKEND...FABULOUS....A POSITIVELY GORGEOUS WINE....IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO LOVE!!!

Famed Napa Library Selection - kept in ideal temperature control conditions at Burgess Cellars since bottling - As recently profiled in the New York Times

93 Points - Jonathan Newman
 

"...This is a wine I know very well having first sampled this wine almost 7 years ago. It is considered one of Tom Burgess’ most storied Cabernet vintages.  The concept from Burgess  Cellars is that they would library a small amount of their original vintage and re-release it at least 10 years after its initial distribution so American consumers could enjoy their top wines with nice bottle age. Few wineries have adopted this practice because of the cost of cellaring wine for a decade.
...most importantly this wine does not disappoint as it is that rare wine from a special vintage, kept in perfect temperature control at the Cellars, and shows that good Napa wines age gracefully and that bottle age can bring many unique enjoyable qualities.
1995 was also considered to be a very solid vintage as most critics rated the overall vintage a 95 rating.
 On the palate, the wine shows its elegance with bright, sweet well integrated tannins that are smooth and round. Still solid backbone and on the palate holds its focus with  black raspberry, polished black cherry and touches of spicy oak and tobacco leaf. Enjoy this wine now and for several more years. It will be an enjoyable wine to pair with lean red meat, baby back ribs, roasted chicken, and lightly blackened fish...."
