Burgess 1998 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)
- $18
Understated, but powerful, with deep apple-pear fruit and very seductive spice notes. Smooth mouthfeel with classy dried-fruit, herb and vanilla flavors. Long finish. Well defined, with a sophisticated feel.

Burgess 1999 Zinfandel (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
From an overlooked winery, a zesty, full-throttle Zin with complex berry and spice fruit and notable oak. There's a density to the flavors that suggests reduced yields and barrel selection of these mountain-grown grapes. It's ripe, velvety, and very easy to drink and enjoy.

Burgess 1998 Enveiere Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $75
Its bouquet and palate offer loads of blackberry, which is hiding under a charry, smoky-tar cloak. Well-balanced, it closes with oak and a little vanillin sweetness.

Burgess 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $38
A solid mid-valley Cab. Well-ripened Cabernet fruit suggests black currants and blackberries, with rich earthy notes of tobacco and dried herbs. It’s dry and velvety in the mouth. Tannins are thick, but negotiable. —S.H.

Burgess 2000 Zinfandel (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $22
Cabernet-like with its balance and elegance, and the lush, soft but complex tannins are clearly from Napa. But the flavors are Zinny all the way. Ripe wild blackberries and blackcherries, wild and crazy spices, and white pepper last through the long finish. Editors’ Choice.
