El Esteco Don David Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Calchaqui Valley, Salta, North, ArgentinaSimple cabernet sauvignon from Calchaqui Valley, the warm blackberry, black cherry fruit absorbing the year in new oak fairly soundly, save for some powdery, wood-strident tannins on the back end. Before that astringent finish, the roasted coffee, earthy blackcurrant, tobacco and green-tinged resin notes are appealingly fresh. Best with hearty, gravied roast meat sandwiches.Tasted: 09 December 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $13.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
