Estate Vineyards...
All vineyards are sustainable, with some in process of being certified organic.
Howell Mountain Vineyards, Ranch Vineyard
The Burgess Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from grapes grown in Burgess’ Howell Mountain, Napa Valley Estate vineyards. Originally planted in the 1880’s, these vineyards have been replanted several times since, most recently in 1978. The slope, exposure (west) and relative scarcity of ground water stress the vines, producing a smaller berry packed with intense flavor, color and aroma.

Triere Vineyard, Yountville
The Burgess Triere Estate Vineyard is ideally located south of the town of Yountville, on the western side of the Napa Valley. Here, the cooling influence of the San Pablo Bay allows the grapes to mature slowly, increasing their intensity. The vines are oriented north/south in order to capture both morning and afternoon sun. Burgess Napa Valley Merlot and Syrah are produced form grapes grown in the Triere Vineyard.
