Roots Run Deep Winery - Educated Guess 2005 Cab/Syrah

As the name suggests, and their website describes, Roots Run Deep Winery uses their "...knowledge, intuition, and years of experience to make the best possible decisions, however at the end of the day it still remains an "Educated Guess"." Only 18,000 Cases of this 2005 Cabernet/Syrah were produced. This is an organically grown Cab with cherry on the nose, vanilla in the middle and a rich berry and smoky finish. This was a lighter cab with very little tannins for a Napa Cab, but for the price of $20 it is one worth trying. It may not be an easy wine to find, but check out their website for distributors that may be near you (http://www.rootsrundeep.com/index.html).

I tried the 2006 Educated Guess Napa Cabernet at Aqua in San Francisco and absolutely loved it. I was pleasantly surprised to find it sold at the local wine shop near my house, California Wine Merchant. The owner of CA Wine Merchant said the owner, Mark Albrecht, stops by all the time and is a great wine merchant by way of Cost Plus World Market. I heard they're coming out with a Chardonnay in the Spring!
