Burgess Cellars 1980 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 750ml

The rainfall was a little above normal and the spring and summer were very cool. Harvest didn't begin until very late, but was warm and short, which caused full and rapid maturity.  The wine is approaching a full maturity stage with a bit of tannin still apparent.  The fruit demonstrates cherry, tobacco, and a little plum character.
