Vina El Principal

Chateau Montelena

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2016

Green apple crumble in a carpentry shop. The Granny Smith apple tartness is the principal note in my mind, but there's more to this one. A soft layer of sawdust in the corner? This is not an oak bomb by any means, but that powdery softness tames the acid of the apple flavors. This is one I've wanted to try for some time. A deep wine to be sure. Legend. — 6 years ago

Polkura

Block G + I Syrah

No pude probarlo mucho. Su principal virtud es suavidad y facilidad de beber, junto y sin contradecirse a una complejidad aromática y en boca que lo hace interesante. No pongo más nota porque no lo pude probar bien. — 7 years ago

Markham Vineyards

Cellar 1879 Napa Valley Red Blend 2013

This Bordeaux style blend has nice dusty tannins and dark chocolate dry cherry flavors. Markham is best known for their Merlot so it is a safe bet that it is a principal player in this dramatic fusion. — 9 years ago

Da Vinci (Cantine Leonardo)

Chianti Sangiovese Blend

Este vino es uno de mis favoritos lo que se denomina vino biológico, lo que me gusta de los vinos italianos es su frescura, lo simple que pueden ser, versátiles, no hay que buscarle tres pies al gato, lo que hay que tener es pasión por lo que uno hace, ese es el ingrediente principal que se percibe en este vino. #winelover #vino #pisco — 6 years ago

Marcenasco Rocche Barolo Nebbiolo 2012

Located halfway up the hill dominating the principal valley of Barolo, lined by orderly vineyards, lies a precious the 15th century Abbey of Annunziata. Deep red with complex aromas of dried berry fruits and fresh floral scents. On the palate the palate cherry, tobacco and fresh herbs give this full-body wine grace and elegance. Approachable tannins on a well balanced frame makes this wine enjoyable today as well as have room to run over the next decade. Tasting Sample. — 8 years ago

Cantina Sant'Andrea

Oppîdum Secco Moscato di Terracina 2014

Mid Gold in colour. The tell tale grape pulp aromas of the Muscat grape with florals - “sweet pea” said my good wife. On the palate fulsome fresh grapey flavours finishing dry with a skinnsy bitterness. From the region of Lazio where the principal city is Rome with the famous football (soccer) club of the same name - Lazio FC. — 6 years ago

Riserva Monfortino Barolo Nebbiolo 1997

Spectacular. Amazingly approachable for a young Monfortino. Opened with strong anise notes and a few hours later the rose petals were the principal note. — 9 years ago
