Root 1 Pinot Noir, 2009

I have had two tastings with Root 1 Pinot Noir.  It was very popular with customers and sold well.


Root 1 2009 Pinot Noir ($12) is from the Casablanca Valley, Chile and is 100% Pinot Noir.  For me the aroma was light fruit with spice and a hint of tobacco.  I found the flavor to be cherry, berry and earthy with a hint of tobacco.  By the end of my three hour tasting however, the cherry and berry notes faded and this was more earthy, but still a nice wine.

Winemaker's Notes:  "Deep ruby in color with bright, intense aromas of cherry and raspberry, with hints of vanilla. Soft and mouthwatering on the palate with medium body, and ripe red berry flavors. Lively acidity coupled with elegant, soft tannins and a long and clean finish.



Serve Root: 1 Pinot Noir with paella, shellfish bisque, mushroom risotto or creamed spinach. A classic pairing with coq au vin or roasted duck, enjoy with charcuterie and creamy bleu, Gouda or brie cheeses."
