Root:1 Cabernet Sauvingnon


If you've read this blog before, you know what a big fan of the Root:1 Sauvignon Blanc I was.  While poking around my local Whole Foods (or Whole Paycheck as many affectionately call it), my wife and I found a bottle of Root:1 Cabernet Sauvignon.  We quickly snatched it up.


Part of me was worried that it wouldn't live up to my expectations, as I had quickly fallen in love with the Sauvignon Blanc, but at $10.99, what did I really have to lose?  I shouldn't have worried as the Root:1 Cabernet Sauvignon was everything that I could have hoped for.

The hints of vanilla were great, but didn't overpower the fruit flavors of cherry and plum.  The tannins were just right, and it was very easy to drink and enjoy.  In short - it was great.  If you've tried the Root:1 Sauvignon Blanc, I can't think of any reason not to go out and try the Root:1 Cabernet Sauvignon.  I give the Root:1 Cabernet Sauvignon 4.75 stars out of 5.
