Cool weather in the beginning of the season resulted in natural fruit concentration on the vine and encouraged a long, slow maturation. Toward the end of the season, temperatures rose steadily to more fully develop aromas of melon, pear and citrus.

Tasting Notes

Fresh complex aromas of pear, green melon and lime are balanced by crisp acidity and bright mineral notes that lead to a clean, strong finish.

Food Pairing

Root: 1 Sauvignon Blanc is an extremely food-friendly wine that pairs beautifully with
rich creamy sauces, seafood, chicken primavera, grilled pork and Caesar salad.
