Root:1 [The Original Ungrafted] Colchagua Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

B Davis

A little spicy for my palate. Leaning toward a softer Cab Franc. Not bad though. Novelty coming from original ungrafted root stock.

Honestly, winemakers Felipe Tosso and Sergio Hormazábal excel at making really low priced juice that translates into respectable and raw wine. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Syrah. 70% of the wine sees 50/50 American and French oak for 10 months, and the 30% left ages in stainless tanks. Ungrafted root systems pick up sand and clay; ends up keeping the wine grounded. Aromas of red currants, black cherries, and red plums, accompanied by dried herbs, green peppercorn, and spearmint. Blend of American and French oak give off toasty mocha and coffee. Firm tannins and racy acidity keep the fruit from overpowering the palate. This is lean and raw in style. It doesn't blow your socks off, but it stays true and honest without any make-up or baby fat hiding it from reality. Nice effort.

Nice and dry. Good for $12. Pretty fruity.

Medium-bodied, dark berries and subtle cassis; this wine isn't particularly bold, I wish it was a bit more flavorful. A touch hot on the finish.

A pesar de ser chileno es un vino con ataque suave en boca .. con final ligero de Pinot noir

Michele Armstrong

Had a bit of a spice but after being open for 30 minutes the bite goes down.
