"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."

"A pretty and savory red with dark berry and oyster shell. Some licorice, too. Full body, soft and layered tannins and a flavorful finish. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, carmenere, syrah, petit verdot and malbec. Drink now."
