Cabernet Sauvignon
Marked by the massive earthquake early in the year, the 2010 vintage was a very memorable one. The weather was cooler than normal in Chile, a wet winter and a cool spring, delayed bud-break and veraison. The weather resulted in a longer growing season and in late maturation wines like Cabernet, a bright, fresh profile. The rains held off until the end of the vintage, the grapes were allowed to ripen to full maturity and harvested at the peak of flavor with good color, optimal tannins and balanced acidity.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red with intense aromas of red fruits of and cassis.Soft notes of plum and blackberry followed by a hint of vanilla. Abundant flavors of ripe cherries and plums up front, hightlight balanced acitdity, soft tannins and good structure. Full-bodied with a long and concentrated finish accented by fruit and vanilla notes.
Food Pairing
Try Root:1 Cabernet with spicy meat dishes like ginger beef or peppercorn tenderloin. The rich, ripe flavors also complement hearty Italian fare like chicken or eggplant parmigiana and is a decadent finish to a meal served with chocolate truffles.
