Editorial profile

Burgess is a small-production, allocation-based winery in St. Helena, Napa Valley, farming with regenerative practices across its Quartz Creek and St. Andrews vineyards in the Oak Knoll District. Cabernet Sauvignon is the core of the range — a Quartz Creek Vineyard bottling, a Cabernet-Sauvignon-led Sorenson Vineyard wine called Promiscua, and Contadina, a Cabernet Sauvignon blended with small amounts of Petit Verdot and Merlot — alongside a St. Andrews Sauvignon Blanc and the winery's first sparkling wine, a 100% Chardonnay Blanc de Blanc made in the traditional method. The winery honors the Rossini, Poncetta, Stewart and Burgess families who farmed the land before it.
