Roots Run Deep Winery was founded in 2005 with a single aim: to produce unparalleled wines from the Napa Valley. Grapes sourced from the best vineyards in Oakville, Rutherford, St. Helena, Oak Knoll, Yountville, and Carneros go into making wines of superb quality and unmatched value. Since its founding, Roots Run Deep has expanded the wine portfolio into the Sonoma Coast, Lake County, and Lodi, searching the state for the best quality fruit in order to continue fulfilling our singular mission of delivering amazing wines at remarkable prices. It all started with an idea, a dream, and a single wine label. No wealthy family, or big name to get his foot in the door, it all had to be done through hard work, tenacity, efficiency, and creative financing. Since no bank would lend him enough money, and having little savings of his own, the founder and proprietor, Mark Albrecht, sold his house and everything inside of it in order to get the capital to start the business. While preparing to harvest his first vintage, he would also go and visit with friends and family telling them the story of what he wanted to accomplish. Fortunately, a few handfuls of them believed enough in him and what he envisioned to turn over some of their hard-earned money to help his dream become a reality.

Macario Montoya, was hired in 2017 to be the new head Winemaker for Roots Run Deep Winery. Macario has spent the last 10 years of his winemaking career as the Assistant Winemaker of Piña Winery in Rutherford. Piña Winery is a fantastic producer and a darling of both Robert Parker of the Wine Advocate and the Wine Spectator. They are well known for their 5 Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons. Macario and his wife Griselda Ceja also have their own small production brand of wines under the Campesino label. Focused on Rhone varietals and named after their daughters they have been well received. As winemaker, Macario oversees all aspects of winemaking as well as our vineyard management and grower relations.

Proprietor Mark Albrecht is a 20-year veteran in the wine industry and has been involved in all aspects of the industry from restaurant to retail, and wholesaler to supplier.
