Tasting Notes/Food Pairing Suggestions
Opaque red color. Mesmerizing aromas of blueberries, red currants, violets, dark chocolate and smoky oak. Layers of flavor unfold as it hits the palate, with cassis and red currants, spice and smoke, and a seemingly endless finish with hints of cocoa. This is truly a connoisseur’s wine with a structure and balance that suggests it will reward further aging. Pairs well with a wide range of foods including grilled or roasted beef, grilled or roasted pork, veal, rabbit, medium-strong cheeses, cream-based pasta sauces, and dishes prepared with wild mushrooms. An amazing food-wine.About the Name/Label
Gusto is the Spanish word for "taste" or "pleasure", and also the nickname given to Guy by his Spanish speaking vineyard workers in California. The name started as Gustavo, a proper Spanish name, but once his helpers saw his affinity for food, wine and good times, it soon became "Gusto". Gusto Vita means "Taste Life", and Guy tries to experience winemaking life to the fullest by working two harvests every year, one in each hemisphere. The tile on the label is reminiscent of the beautiful tiles found in many of the public squares in the City of Mendoza.Recent Press & Reviews of Gusto Vita
