Burly 2013 "Special Selection" Cabernet Sauvignon

NET PRICED WINE - NO FURTHER DISCOUNT

We’ve been fans of Burly for close to 20 years. Owner Hank McCrorie, a North Carolina native and longtime friend of Taylor’s Wine Shop, has joined us for many memorable tastings and events over the years. Both Hank and his wines have never failed to impress the Taylor’s faithful.

The Special Select Cabernet Sauvignon represents the very best of Burly’s longtime work with the Simpkins Vineyard in Napa Valley’s Coombsville AVA. After years of working this site, Hank and his team know the vineyard inside and out, identifying the blocks, rows, and individual vines that consistently produce its most exceptional fruit.

Barrels from these prized rows are kept separate in the cellar. From that small selection, just the two finest barrels are chosen and bottled separately as Special Select.

2013 Special Select Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2013 Burly Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold, full-bodied red wine crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon grown in the Coombsville AVA of Napa Valley, California. Typically produced from the top selection of barrels from the vintage and aged extensively in new French oak, this wine opens with expressive aromatics of ripe blackberries, black currants, and subtle baking spice. On the palate, it delivers a rich, smooth texture layered with intense flavors of dark fruit, cassis, espresso, and sweet cedar, anchored by mouth-coating tannins and a long, lingering finish. Because of its structured tannins and concentrated depth, it pairs best with hearty, fat-rich dishes such as grilled ribeye steak, braised short ribs, roasted lamb, venison, and aged cheeses like sharp cheddar or Gouda.
