Roots Run Deep Winery Educated Guess Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Region: Napa Valley, California
Winery: Roots Run Deep Winery
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petite Verdot, Malbec

Color: Nice dark Cabernet garnet

Nose: Good varietal characteristics, with some black fruit, some red raspberry and cherry on the nose with lots of unintegrated oak.

Palate: Pretty good Cab. Lots of oak, though, that needs some time to settle down. Good tannic structure that also shows its young age. Same fruits as in the nose.

The Educated Guess Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from grapes grown in the prestigious Napa Valley wine districts of Yountville, Oakville, and Rutherford. Two primary sources for the Educated Guess Cabernet are Beckstoffer Vineyards in Rutherford, and the Napa Wine Company in Yountville and Oakville—whose grapes are 100% organically grown. The wine is made in Oakville, California at the Napa Wine Company. Created with the philosophy that superb Napa Valley Cabernet can be affordable, this wine is indistinguishable in quality from its higher-priced Napa Valley competitors.
Wow, what can we say about our Cabernet Sauvignon? It’s rich, ripe and focused with juicy blackberry, blueberry, and boysenberry fruit, all tied together with a creamy smooth french vanilla middle and a finish that in a word is . . . lingering. This wine fills all the requirements that a serious cabernet lover is looking for, while remaining very fun, approachable, and food friendly!
