What happens when an iconic winery, superior craftsmanship, viticulturally rich terroir, and the bargaining power of your favorite wine store come together? 
 
Today, the stars have aligned perfectly to bring you the 96-point 2021 Burgess Promiscua Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley at 40% savings!
 
Burgess has a history dating back to 1871; over the years, the property passed through the hands of several families, each of whom planted vines and lovingly tended to the land. In 1943, Lee Stewart purchased the land and named it Souverain. Legendary winemakers Warren Winiarski and Mike Grgich each began their careers there.
 
Tom Burgess purchased the Souverain winery in 1972, and Burgess Cellars was born. He hired Bill Sorenson as chief winemaker, who crafted mountain wines of great finesse for 41 consecutive vintages. Today, under the ownership of the Lawrence Family, chief winemaker Meghan Zobeck carries on the Burgess tradition with her beautiful wines that seamlessly straddle the line between opulence and elegance.
 
Meghan Zobeck is passionate about crafting wines of elegance, practicing low-intervention winemaking methods, and caring for the environment. 
She fell in love with wine and winemaking while she was negotiating contracts for the NFL. She shifted careers and fully immersed herself in the wine industry, participating in harvests around the world, including Colchagua Valley, Piedmont, and Bordeaux. She sealed her reputation as a mega-talent after making wine at Screaming Eagle and Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars in Napa Valley.
 
2021 was a classic vintage in Napa Valley and the inaugural edition of today's offer. Sourced from three of Burgess Cellars' vineyards, crafted from 100% cabernet sauvignon, and aged for 22 months in a combination of new and seasoned French oak, this aromatic wine has delicate yet complex
flavors that lean slightly floral and notes of freshly cut cedar, red cassis, red
plum, and Luxardo cherry. (winery notes)

96 points, James Suckling:
"Such beautiful black currant, ink, iron, bark, and terra-cotta aromas follow through to a medium body, with firm tannins that are chewy too. Rose petal. Candied cherry. Fresh and fine at the end. This transparency is impressive. Almost pinot-like in its personality. All about the aromatics. Drink or hold."
 
94 points, Decanter:
"Medium-bodied with alluring bright fruit and mineral aromatics, leading to candied Bing cherry fruit that grabs ahold of the mid-palate and lingers, nuanced by rose petal florals, plums, blackberry, and crunchy pomegranate seeds. The super long finish builds in more cedarwood and toffee, all elegant and balanced, never sweet or cloying. Loads of impressionable tannins resolve with mouthwatering acidity. It's an enigma of a wine best
enjoyed over a long meal."

#73, Top-100 Wines of 2024:
"An enticing, delicious version, showing ripe, juicy boysenberry and blackberry paste flavors laced with anise and apple wood notes. Offers lively grip, while pretty violet and iris accents keep this balanced and fresh throughout. Drink now through 2038." 
 
46 of The 50 Greatest Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons
of the 21st Century (So Far), Robb Report:
"We think the 2021 Burgess Promiscua Cab is delicious. It has aromas of candied cherry, cigar box, and red raspberry that lead to flavors of blackberry, crushed violet petals, and red currant."
