NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Root 1 Carmenérè is a boldly flavored red wine with jammy blackberry fruit and a bold herbaceous streak.The palate is generous and the tannins are moderate and ripe. Subtle chocolate complexity on the short finish adds some complexity. This direct style is well suited to everyday drinking and casual dining. Drink within 4 years.
