Roots Run Deep Bound and Determined Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant before serving.

Unable to get a bank loan, winemaker Mark Albrecht was so determined to create his very own wine label that he sold his house. In 2005 he founded the Roots Run Deep winery in Napa Valley with the help of friends and family who believe in his mission to craft delicious yet ageworthy wines at accessible prices. Albrecht now also sources fruit from Sonoma Coast, Lake County, and Lodi, producing stunning wines that capture the beauty of California’s many varied terroirs.

The Bound and Determined series references the philosophy behind Roots Run Deep winery, which became reality thanks to Albrecht’s single-minded drive and commitment to make great wine. This Cabernet Sauvignon is produced in tiny quantities from top vineyard plots in Napa Valley.

Classic Napa Cab flavours like opulent cassis, dark cherry, and ripe plums dominate on the nose, while the first sip reveals a generous full body, firm yet ripe tannins and a long spice seasoned with gentle spice, graphite, and woodsmoke. The bold personality makes this a great wine to cellar for a few more years or to enjoy now alongside hearty red meat dishes like a fine steak, fresh parapedelle served with a rich beef ragu, or a generous platter of charcuterie.
