Pronounced “Guh-voorts-trah-mee-ner,” this wine has an inviting slightly honeyed color. Delightful aromas of golden pear, green mango and papaya start this wine off.

This Cabernet Sauvignon has an inky ruby color. Aromas of black cherries, currants, and just a hint of liquorish are ever changing with each inhale. Cherries and currants carry over to the palate but with the added flavors of dark chocolate and espresso. It finishes with a lingering mouth feel reminiscent of black tea full of structured tannins.
Food Pairing Notes:
Pair this wine with sundried tomato bruschetta, burgers, hot dogs, chili, bacon wrapped asparagus, tomahawk steak with potatoes, grilled pizza with Italian sausage, or devil’s food cake.
