Root 1 Cabernet Sauvignon (75cl, 13.5%)

Root 1 Cabernet Sauvignon is a Chilean red wine from the Maipo Valley, made from 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Syrah. It is a collaboration between Viña Ventisquero and the Click Wine Group, grown on ungrafted rootstock in phylloxera-free soils. Seventy per cent of the wine ages for 10 months in French and American oak barrels, while 30% rests in stainless steel. The nose offers cassis, blackberry, plum and black pepper with toasty spice and vanilla. The palate is juicy with dark berry, cassis, dark chocolate and mocha, with fine-grained tannins. The finish lingers with cedar, toasted oak and black pepper.
