This is the 2019 Burly “Simpkins Vineyard” Cab out of Coomsville (to be clear). I found this little gem (of all places) is a little beverage store in Fairview Park, Ohio called Minotti’s for a really reasonable price. And, MAN, am I glad I picked it up. I’m lucky enough to have met Hank McCrorie (“Burly”, as they called him on his college football team)- so I know the effort he makes to contend with the best out of that region. I just can’t recommend the Burly label anymore, I’m a perennial fan of whatever they produce and know that every, single, year- this stuff punches WAY above its weight class. — 2 months ago

Good Evening fellow wine lovers. Tonight we are drinking one my very favorite wines, 2010 Burly Cabrenet Sauvignon. WOW. Before we begin, I want to thank Bernice and Hank McCrorie for bringing us their amazing wines. Bernice actually talks to me via email and on the phone when I call them. No other wine maker has ever done this. She's from Sonoma County and he's from Asheville North Carolina. This couple has made an amazing product. Please visit their website www.Burlywines.com The cork is perfect with almost no absorption ring. The color is opaque deep purple / black. The legs are long and slow. The bouquet is blackberry and raspberry aromas. The initial palate is so buttery smooth you won't believe it's this big! There are flavors of black current, blackberries, and fig. The new oak barrel aging gives it a hint of spice with a smooth finish that of a green apple. It is mildly dry leaving absolutely no aftertaste. All you can think of is MORE! Before you know it, your two glasses down and telling yourself to slow down. This is a perfect wine. It's a bit pricey but so worth the expense. I give it 98 points and a 10 on the delectable scale! But as much of this wine as you can. Also try the Chardonnay! You will change your mind about Chards if your a Pinot Grigio fan!
