"A fresh and clean red with light plum and berry character. Medium body. Light chocolate and tile undertone. Everything in balance. 57% cabernet sauvignon, 18% carmenere, 9% syrah, 9% petit verdot and 7% cabernet franc."

"A blend of cabernet sauvignon (69 percent) with syrah, petit verdot, carmenère and malbec, all grown at El Principal's estate, this is formidably rich, with chestnut and smoky notes from a year in French oak, and an intriguing spiciness to the dark fruit. The wine's umami tones could take on smoky barbecue."
