El Esteco Fincas Notables Cabernet Sauvignon Cuartel 9 2013
Calchaqui Valley, Salta, North, ArgentinaThe vineyard was planted in 1960 at 1700 meters above sea level. As you would expect, the nose is fresh with more red fruit aromas than black. The attack is similar with red cherry supported by cassis and lively acidity. The tannins are still youthful but light and run across the full length of its linear, stony mineral palate. Best with grilled beef at the moment but will improve with two to three more years in the bottle.Tasted: 18 June 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $29.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
