BRAND INTRODUCTION
Burgess, an esteemed Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon producer for 50 years, is the culmination of 150 years of farming tradition on the vertiginous slopes of Howell Mountain.
From the Swiss-Italian ancestors who first planted the Sorenson Vineyard to the present day, the estate strives to produce wines of elegance and finesse that honor its deep roots in the Napa Valley.
Tom Burgess established Burgess Cellars in 1972 at the base of Howell Mountain, where the first planting of the rugged and steep Sorenson Vineyard was cultivated in 1870. Lee Stewart later planted cabernet sauvignon and petite sirah grapes on Howell Mountain’s steep hillsides, naming his winery Souverain. Subsequent Napa Valley greats also tended the land; before starting the historic Stag’s Leap and Grgich wineries, Warren Winiarski and Mike Grgich each learned their trades at the Estate.
When Tom Burgess arrived in the Napa Valley, he began a quest to find the perfect vineyard site to yield the cabernet sauvignon wine he loved. Burgess acquired the Souverain estate and hired Bill Sorenson as his chief winemaker, a role he held for 41 vintages; one of the longest tenures in the history of the Napa Valley.
In 2020 the Burgess family passed the baton to Gaylon Lawrence, Jr., upholding a 150-year tradition of family ownership. Gaylon entrusted the legacy of the Howell Mountain vineyard to winemaker, Meghan Zobeck to honor the heritage of the Napa Valley through regenerative farming practices that will preserve the health of the vines and the “magic” of the wine from generation to generation.

“[Meghan Zobeck’s] debut wines show the quality and style of the ‘ 21 vintage, showing purity and floral notes amid energetic fruit.”

2014 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
NAPA VALLEY
The Sorenson Vineyard is the backbone of Burgess Cellars, first planted in the late 19 th century.
The Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is made from the oldest vines on the site and honors former winemaker Bill Sorenson, who led 41 consecutive harvests there. The wine is made with the intention to age. This legendary single vineyard, first planted in the 1850s by the Poncettas at the foot of Howell Mountain, has been the source of some of the Napa Valley’s most storied wines. Owned by Lee Stewart of Souverain before being purchased by the Burgess family, the vines here date back to the 1980s and are on the same volcanic soils of Howell Mountain on west-facing steep terraces. They receive an abundance of sun but are protected by the vine canopy and remain cool in the summer heat. Our Hillside Reserve was made with the intention to age.

BRAND INTRODUCTION
“Heitz Martha’s Vineyard is one of Napa’s iconic bottlings; the 1974 counts among the greatest wines in Napa history.”
– JAMES MOLESWORTH, WINE SPECTATOR
Family owned since its founding in 1961, Heitz Cellar’s legacy runs deep. It is widely considered a winery legend, having played a major role in shaping the history of Napa Valley winemaking. In the late 1950’s, pioneering vintner Joe Heitz ushered in Napa’s modern era with his iconic, globally celebrated pure varietal, single-vineyard wines that can age for decades, including Napa Valley’s first vineyard-designated Cabernet Sauvignon, the renowned Heitz Cellar Martha’s Vineyard. Sixty years of the Heitz family’s dedication to viticulture, stewardship, and timeless post-prohibition style winemaking have maintained the winery’s notoriety as a benchmark amongst its peers in California and Europe.
In April 2018, Heitz Cellar entered an exciting new chapter as this rich legacy was passed into the hands of the Lawrence family, whose deep roots in agriculture and commitment to the same core values of fine winemaking made it a perfect match.
Director of Winemaking Brittany Sherwood, who has been with Heitz Cellar for over 13 years, continues to produce wines with an unwavering dedication to quality from organically farmed, 100% Napa Valley fruit, and a responsibility to the sustainability of Napa Valley.
Heitz Cellar features prized estate vineyards planted in six of Napa Valley’s sub-appellations: Oakville, Rutherford, St. Helena, Howell Mountain, Oak Knoll District, and Calistoga.
This allows for an incredible breadth of diversity in terroir, and the ability to craft wines that are a pure representation of place. A proud leader in agricultural stewardship, 100% of the vineyards at Heitz Cellar are grown certified CCOF organic and farmed biodynamically.

BRAND INTRODUCTION
While many who visit the Napa Valley come to know the tapestry of vineyards and villages cradled between the Mayacamas and Vaca Mountains, few have an opportunity to explore the rugged hills and forested peaks of Howell Mountain.
It is there that Howell Mountain’s greatest classical estate, Ink Grade, has clung since 1873. Ascending to an elevation of 2,200 feet, the climb to Ink Grade is a feat unto itself. Early pioneers of the Napa Valley established ranches on the remote eastern side of Howell Mountain in the mid 1800s. The vineyards here contain a unique energy — bound in layers of volcanic soil, latent and patiently waiting to be discovered, it is a terroir capable of producing concentrated, distinct wines.
There is incredible potential in this lofty site blanketed by 30-year-old vines grasping onto volcanic tufa soils. The site exemplifies what makes Howell Mountain so special, with nearly every aspect and angle that one vineyard can possess displayed in a plethora of unique and dynamic parcels. This unique setting, with its wild nature, makes it possible to create something truly rare.
Today, the Ink Grade Estate Vineyard lies in the northeast corner of the Howell Mountain AVA in Napa Valley and is the appellation’s first monopole estate. The vines are planted on narrow terraces of earth cut into steep slopes.
The intent is to capture the wild purity of the mountain and the structure of its rugged terrain in wines both elegant and robust.
To do so takes patience, reverence, and care: allowing the fruit to flourish through biodynamic farming, extended maceration, long élevage, and low intervention winemaking practices.

BRAND INTRODUCTION
Matt Taylor Wines is eponymous for a reason; these bottles contain an inimitable intersection of place and viewpoint. A Sonoma County native from three generations, Taylor has pursued wine knowledge across the world, studying and working in Cádiz, Burgundy, Hawkes Bay, Mendoza, Cafayate, the Russian River Valley and Napa Valley.
It all led him to the same conclusion: wine should be as thorough an expression of place as possible.
The hand-crafted wines from the West Sonoma Coast are produced from the Komorebi Vineyard, Japanese for “light filtered between trees”, perched just four miles from the Pacific Ocean.
Winemaker Matt Taylor’s understanding of his vineyards with their long, cool growing season informs his whole-cluster-fermented Pinot Noir and no-sulfur-added Chardonnay, and inspired him to embark on planting Loire varietals for the future. These hand-painted bottles are defined by a poetic purity — they are a love letter to the land that only Taylor could write.

BRAND INTRODUCTION
In 1943, Fred McCrea and his wife, Eleanor, stumbled onto a 168-acre plot of land hidden away on the slopes of Spring Mountain, which they purchased and later named Stony Hill Vineyard. With their love for French white wines combined with the ideal growing conditions of their property, the McCreas built the first post-prohibition winery in 1951 and released their inaugural vintage the following year. Stony Hill’s terroir and climate mirrored that of Burgundy, made of volcanic mountain soil with a limestone sub-layer and a northeast-facing hillside, making it perfect to craft their preferred style of Chardonnay. Some would later refer to Stony Hill as “America’s greatest white wine estate.”
Over the years, the McCreas planted more European white varietals including Pinot Blanc, Johannesburg Riesling and later Gewurztraminer and Semillon. It wasn’t until 2009 that Stony Hill began producing red wine made of estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
In 1972, Fred brought on Mike Chelini as his assistant winemaker and protégé, who would later take over after Fred’s passing in 1977. Since then, Chelini carried on McCrea’s legacy and philosophy of winemaking for
over four decades, maintaining the “big little winery” and selling primarily through a hand-selected list of buyers.
In 2020 the Lawrence Family became the next family to own the historic estate. Under the watchful eye of managing partner, Carlton McCoy Jr., Stony Hill has taken careful steps to preserve its legacy in the Napa Valley, keeping the integrity of the land and winemaking style intact. The estate vineyards continue to be farmed organically and focus on sustainable vineyard cultivation, while careful attention is put forth to honor the past and embrace the future of Stony Hill.
“Stony Hill has been making small amounts of cabernet sauvignon since 2009 in a restrained, classical style that I love."
