Root:1 Cabernet Sauvignon
Wine Description
In 2004 the warm, mediterranean-style microclimate produced very hot temperatures during the summer days with windy, cold nights which allowed for a very nice development of the red fruit flavors and concentration. Optimal
conditions for rich, ripe Cabernet and Syrah.
