 Root: 1
Winery: Viña Ventisquero
Wine Name: Root:1
Vintage: 2004
Varietal(s)%: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah
Appellation(s): Colchagua Valley, Chile
Vintage Notes: 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.
Maturation/Winemaking: The grapes were hand-harvested from the vineyards of Suspiro and the Apalta, in the Colchagua Valley, for Cabernet and Syrah, respectively. Fermented in stainless steel tanks, alcoholic fermentation took two weeks with post maceration for a week to round up the tannins, and malolactic fermentation for one to two months. The wine was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.
Tasting Notes: Intense, cherry red in color, with ripe berry notes, including raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and plums. Attractive aromas of coffee and dark chocolate combine with a touch of tobacco, smoke and vanilla, into a rich structure with soft tannins. A full-bodied wine with a long and concentrated finish accented with fruity, smoky notes.
Food Pairings: It matches well with grilled red meats like flank steak, sirloin and ostrich.
