Root:1
Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2011 vintage opened with a long cool spring in Chile and summer was late to begin. The weather resulted in smaller yields overall and extended the harvest. The growing conditions resulted in lower alcohol levels, ripe, fresh aromas and a bright, balanced profile. The rains fell toward the end of harvest, but did not damage the grapes. Extending harvest into May allowed the grapes to ripen to full maturity, reaching the peak of flavor with good color, smooth tannins and balanced acidity.
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.
