1994 Burgess 'Napa Valley' Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasted from a large commercial cellar, Nov. 30, 2007
Very deep in color with just hints of garnet peeking out from under hues of ruby. Ripe aromas of fresh cherries, red plums, and hints of baking spices. Subtle and well integrated with distinctive notes of smoky, mesquite grilled steak. Very supple and elegant on the palate with loads of fruit and super silky tannins. Probably has at least another 5-7 years to go, but totally irresistible now. This is a remarkably smooth, undervalued delight.
