In 2004 the warm, mediterranean-style microclimate produced very hot temperatures during the summer days with windy, cold nights which allowed for a very nice development of the red fruit flavors and concentration. Optimal
conditions for rich, ripe Cabernet and Syrah.

Tasting Notes

Rich garnet in color with intense aromas of ripe red fruits. Bright notes of plum and cherry followed by a hint of vanilla. Abundant flavors of juicy, ripe berries and a hint of toast, with balanced fresh acidity, soft tannins and good structure. Full-bodied with a smooth finish.

Food Pairing

Root: 1 Cabernet pairs well with barbequed steak or a colorful, fresh stir-fry. The rich, ripe flavors also complement dishes like grilled chicken or shrimp. Before dinner, try it with hard salami or salted nuts, and a selection of mild to medium cheeses.
