I must admit that this rating is jaded by the fact that the wine I tasted previous to this was a fruit foward fruit bomb, so anything would have tasted good, but that said, I think this burgess hits all the right notes of complexity mouth feel and finish.

This wine did not do it for me. Opened two hours prior to dinner. Dark fruit and mocha on the nose. The palate was dark berries, mocha, tobacco and a hint of herbs. The finish is what threw me off it was short and acidic almost harsh. Served alongside turkey leftovers..

This followed a 2017 Martin Ray Cabernet Diamond Mountain and as disappointed in the aforementioned as I was this certainly at 1/2 the price was a step up. Moderate dark fruits on the nose and a gritty almost earthy tone set up a nice round finish. A touch of Oak & Tobacco were prevalent as well. Solid wine, once again Napa Cabernet and not inexpensive makes this decent but nothing to get excited about.
