Description

In 1972, Tom Burgess established a winery and business on the side of Howell Mountain, promoting the then little known Napa Valley region. Honoring Tom's passion and determination, we named our Premiere Napa Valley wine "Brush Breaker." This unique wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Block 7 hailing from our esteemed Haymaker Vineyard that Tom Burgess developed in 1988. Harvested at the peak of perfection, “Brush Breaker” has all the characteristics of an eastern-facing hillside vineyard on Howell Mountain: inky, black fruit and cassis flavors and complex aromas with the perfect balance of sweet French oak and refined, velvety tannins. Crafted to highlight the terroir of this unique vineyard site, this legendary wine is sure to be a stunner for years to come.
