Rooted in flavors

Root: 1 Sauvignon Blanc 2012
Casablanca Valley, Chile

Smelled like: Bread and butter almost. Definitely picked up apple notes.
Taste: Bitter at first taste, but it didn't stick around. Tasted bell peppers in it. Didn't have it with food, but it was pretty drinkable on it's own. Not too memorable.

They say: Pale green in color, concentrated aromas with tropic al fruit and citrus notes. Great acidity wth fresh lime and grapefruit balanced by soft minerality on the palate. Bright and crisp with rich fruit expression, and an elegant finish. Root: 1 Sauvignon Blanc is crisp, refreshing and pairs delightfully well with many types of foods. Try it with fresh summer salads, grilled oysters, or baked salmon. A great match with smoked ham and cheesy potato casserole, or lemon-herbed chicken with spring vegetable risotto.


The bottom line: Probably better with food, I drank it and quickly forgot it.
