Haymaker TKO
2015 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
If Cabernet Sauvignon were a boxer, then this wine would work the entire ring with poetic moves and deliver a Haymaker for the TKO! Hailing from our smallest block at the Haymaker vineyard, “Haymaker TKO” is the bantamweight champion of the vineyard that is graceful and powerful. With spirit from its cheering corner man, Petit Verdot, this wine shows strength, depth, velvety smooth tannins, elegance, spirit, and pedigree that is never out shined. Like Rocky training in the barn and snow for the win, our genuine methods are timeless.
Winemaker, Burgess Cellars
I fell into winemaking by accident, and what a happy accident it has become! As a winemaker, I've been fortunate to work with some of the best fruit in the valley ranging from the beautiful hillsides of Howell Mountain to the fabulous valley floor vines in Rutherford and beyond. I've had the pleasure of working with some of the finest winemakers that have helped shape and form my winemaking philosophies and techniques. I love the challenge that each vintage brings, and taking what Mother Natures gives us to create elegant, world-renowned wines.
