Guillermo De Mendoza Cabernet
Two small allocation reds from Guillermo De Mendoza, stocked in Commack.
The story behind Guillermo De Mendoza
Cabernet Sauvignon is the red that most of the wine drinking world knows by name. It gives dark fruit, firm tannin and a spine of acidity, and it takes oak well, so it can drink bold and structured or softer and rounder depending on how it is made. Malbec, its partner here, is the plush one: deep color, juicy plum and a gentler grip.
We carry Guillermo De Mendoza in two bottles, a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Malbec, both 750mL at 11.99. These are small allocation items for us, one to two bottles at a time, so call the Commack store at (631) 343-7200 before you drive over.
