Ok, so this is a wine made by a winery that is allegedly run by a religious cult (the Fellowship of Friends) who has their own AVA (North Yuba) and it has been made specifically for Marriott's low-end Fairfield Inn chain. I would love to know the story of how that business relationship came about. In any event, the Fairfield guests got to drink well with this one. Renaissance is known for somehow making ageable Bordeaux-like Cabs and this wine is no exception. Drinking remarkably young, with a nice blend of red fruit, earth and mineral aromas. Just a touch of green pepper. 13% alc. This is actually one of the better Cabs I have had recently and it should drink well for a decade. — 11 years ago
