Root:1
Pinot Noir
The 2011 vintage had a very cool beginning with a colder than normal springtime, followed by a late-starting summer. The low temperatures in Casablanca produced smaller yields, about 20% less than a typical year and the cool weather allowed grapes to ripen gradually, giving ripe elegance to the Pinot Noir. Slightly lower in alcohol with very concentrated fruit flavors of wild red fruits.
Tasting Notes
Intense ruby-red in color with violet reflections. Rich aromas of wild strawberries, raspberries and dark, juicy morello cherries with subtle spice notes, and a hint of vanilla. Medium-bodied with nice acidity, fresh red fruit flavors are complemented by smooth tannins for a well-rounded palate followed by a lengthy finish.
Food Pairing
Serve Root: 1 Pinot Noir with grilled scallops, crab cakes or seasoned pork loin. A classic wine style that pairs well with traditional pasta dishes, as well as roasted chicken with root vegetables.
