WINE DESCRIPTION
El Esteco Don David Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkable wine that showcases the expertise of its producer.

This wine is a perfect choice for those seeking a bold and sophisticated red wine experience.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
El Esteco Don David Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkable wine that showcases the classic characteristics of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety.On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of blackcurrant, blackberry, and hints of cedar and tobacco. These aromas are further complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and spice, adding complexity to the overall profile.
On the palate, El Esteco Don David Cabernet Sauvignon displays a full-bodied and well-structured character. The rich flavors of black fruits, such as black cherry and blackcurrant, dominate the palate, accompanied by velvety tannins that provide a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. The wine's excellent balance between fruitiness and acidity contributes to its overall harmony.
The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant impression of ripe fruit and a touch of oak.

It pairs wonderfully with red meat dishes, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. Cheers!
