Deep garnet in color with bright reflections. Aromas of ripe berries, cassis, plum, and dark cherry, followed by light toast notes. Juicy red berry and mocha flavors with a full-bodied structure, balanced by smooth tannins and a lengthy finish. Root: 1 Cabernet pairs well with grilled steak or a hearty meat-sauce pasta. The ripe, full-bodied flavors also complement roasted vegetables and spicy soups. A delightful match to chocolate desserts! 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah. Produced and bottled by Vinya Ventisquero. Chile is a true rarity in the wine world. Unique geographic & climatic forces have allowed it to remain one of very few grape-growing regions in the world where the original European rootstocks survive, unaffected by phylloxera—the disease that forced grape growers worldwide to graft vines onto generic rootstocks. The grapes for Root:1 are hand picked from two of Chile's most well known viticultural regions, Maipo and Colchagua. The wine is grown, harvested, blended, and bottled to create a balanced, fruit forward, expressive Cabernet true to the terroir of Chile's best viticultural regions.
