Weekend Wine Review El Principal Winery

By
Industry Observer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bob and I toured El Principal Winery, it is a very pretty winery. It has the Andes as a backdrop plus you when you go up to some of the hills you can see all the way to Santiago. We toured the facilities and then we got a tasting of their 3 red wines. Calicanto, Memorias and El Principal.

 

Calicanto is their value wine and I thought it was darn good for $17 it is full of fruits and cinnamon flavor it does taste a bit young but I loved it. Memorias was more elegant and sophisticated  it also had more structure still had lots of fruit flavor and a long finish. El Principal was excellent but at $130 a bottle it has a lot of competition at that price level.

The taste of fruits with cinnamon in a bottle of wine sounds intriguing!

Yolanda,

Like Myrl Jeffcoat your description was definitely intriguing.  One of my favorite tastes is a cabernet accompanied with a French Cinnamon cookie made by Lu with a piece of 85% chocolate...So I love what you are describing.  A

Yolanda, El Pinncipal Winery was an excellent tour, discussion and tasting. The Calicantowine is very good when looking at price and quality. The other two wines were excellent but prices especialkly of their premier wine were too high..
