Welcome to BURLY^® Wines...

The name for BURLY originates from Hank’s college football days, when he was dubbed “Burly Bear” by the local paper. The nickname stuck among his teammates and given the bold nature of the the wine, is more than a befitting name for the wine as well. The oak tree displayed on the label is not only a symbol connecting the McCrorie’s childhoods, Hank growing up surrounded by beautiful southern oaks and Bernice the sprawling oak trees at the family ranch in Northern California, but also embodies the commanding flavors of tannins and oak, balanced by the beauty of its velvety, rich and flavorful layers.

Wine Spectator Editor's Pick August 7^th, 2008 - Firm, rich and intense, with a complex core of wild berry, currant, black cherry and plum, framed by toasty, cedary oak. Well-focused, deep and persistent. Best from 2009 through 2014. 1,250 cases made.
--James Laube (2005 Burly Cabernet Sauvignon)
