Founded in 2005 by Mark Albrecht with promise of producing Napa wines at affordable prices, compete with $50+ wines. Had this with blind tasting of $40-$60 wines. Blend of 86% Cab Sauv, 7% a Petit Verdot & rest Merlot & Cab Franc. Dark Ruby with aromas of youthful berry fruit & pepper spice. Palate blackberry & plum with some cacao wrapped in dusty tannins. Medium+ finish ending with some toasty oak & mineral notes. An Educated Guess if this wine will age well & really compete with $50+! I don’t see it!
