This is a BIG Pinot. Big, fruit dominated nose, with a little herbal spice on the back end, with hints of black olive and rose permeating throughout. Big palate and body, with an herbal, hay or thyme palate, tannic, with a salinity that’s prominent, with black olive, some tar, and even a smokiness hitting the end, with dark cherry, plum, and a peppery spice showing up loud on the palate. Really good entry to South African Pinot. — 8 months ago

88 Dark purple. Powerful aromas of dark berry preserves and licorice, with a smoky overtone. Lush and expansive, offering hefty black and blue fruit flavors. This seamless cabernet packs a lot of fruit for the money and finishes with good energy and cling. May 2012, "Cabernet Sauvignon" Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 88 BEST BUY! Very good priced Cab with fresh herb, black cherry, blackberry and earthy aromas. The palate is healthy and stands up to scrutiny, which the flavors of cassis, berry, chocolate and pepper are correct and more than pleasant. Long and lasting on the finish. The best Root:1 Cab to date. February 2011, "Cabernet Sauvignon" Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 Consumer Reports Root: 1 Cabernet Sauvignon is selected as Best Buy download December 2010, "Cabernet Sauvignon" Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 88 Ruby-red. Spicy red berry and cherry aromas are complemented by mint, licorice and black cardamom. A fresh, focused midweight, offering sweet raspberry and cherry flavors and good tangy snap. Very lively; the finish is focused, brisk and nicely persistent. March 2010, "Cabernet Sauvignon" Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 Living Wine for the taking -- Don't arrive to a Christmas party empty-handed, bring a fabulous wine such as Root:1 Cabernet Sauvignon. Root:1 is a "crowd-pleaser for both novice and seasoned red wine enthusiasts" and a very good value for the price." December 2009, "Cabernet Sauvignon" Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 — 11 years ago

9.1

Brilliant silver-straw. Lime zest, honeysuckle, succulent herbs and chalky minerals on the incisive nose. Dry, tightly focused and lithe on the palate, offering intense citrus and orchard fruit flavors that reveal a hint of waxiness and a refreshingly bitter quinine note. Shows a delicate touch and finishes clean, nervy and quite long, with resonating mineral character and a hint of lemon thyme. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, July 2021)
