Burgess Cellars
How many ways are there to measure consistency? Who knows? And it doesn’t matter. What matters to us is the remarkable consistency that the folks at Burgess Cellars have had over the past thirty years.
Imagine this: Bill Sorenson has been the winemaker up at Burgess since 1972. I don’t know about you but just about the only thing most anyone has done consistently for over 30 years is grow older. It’s quite a feat and it’s one of the main reason the wines of Burgess, particularly their spectacular Cabernet is—wait for it—consistently among those wines that are at the top of each Napa Valley vintage.

pot on Howell Mountain that we are willing to bet keeps Sorenson on the property and neglecting what must have been numerous offers from other wineries over the years. Howell Mountain might be the one, true “God’s Country” of Napa Valley. The steep slopes keep yields down as the vines struggle to produce their fruit. The elevation combined with the western-facing Cabernet vineyard results in wines that demand respect.
This also means Sorenson can craft wines that truly age. Here at Ambrosia we taste older Burgess wines regularly and are taken aback by the fruit, structure and complexity that the ten and even twenty year old wines possess. How satisfying it must be for the Burgess Family and Bill Sorenson to be able to pull a fifteen-year-old wine out of the cellar and know it’s still got the goods.
