Alger Vineyards Syrah 2014

I have a soft spot for this family-owned producer from Little known AVA in Tahama County, Northern California. Fine tannins, all fruit at this point-pleasant to drink and of course reasonably priced. 100% Petite Sirah from a low-yielding, higher altitude vineyard @ 2500 feet on the west slopes of Mount Lassen, the southernmost volcano in the Cascade mountains range. 14.4% abv โ€” 4 months ago

Benje Tenerife Tinto 2018

Alder Yarrow
9.3

Quite reduced at first, with lots of struck match and brimstone funk, but with some air this blossomed into a crunchy lean boysenberry and sour cherry medley mixed with chopped herbs and deeply stony minerality. Great acidity. Taste the volcano mateys! From the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands of Spain, this mostly Listan Prieto (aka Mission or Pais) with a little of Tintillo, red wine is light on the palate and quite refreshing. Sulfur is added only at bottling, otherwise this juice is simply put into old barrels to do its thing. โ€” 4 years ago

Needs decanting to open up. Earthy black currant flavor with sweet tangy finish. The vineyard is by a dormant volcano. โ€” a year ago

Aglianico del Vulture 2017

As you open this wine you begin a trip to the arch of Italyโ€™s boot. Although this southern, mountainous region has a few small vineyards under vine. The big red grape Aglianico is limited to the slopes of an extinct volcano Mount Vulture. Notes of blackberry, black cherry and wild herbs. Well-balanced and tamed. On hold for 5 years and itโ€™s sensational. โ€” 3 years ago

Benje Listan Blanco 2018

Sharp, flinty Listรกn Blanco (aka Palomino, the grape most Sherry is made from) from approximately 100-year-old ungrafted vines from several small plots on the slopes of the Teide, a dormant 12,000 ft high volcano on the island of Tenerife. Fermented in concrete, partially skin-macerated, partially aged under flor (like Sherry). Elegant, complex. Subtly smoky, with nutty, yeasty aromas. Saline, crushed stone, minerals and some notes of citrus (grapefruit) ๐ŸŒ‹๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ โ€” 5 years ago

Mayacamas Vineyards

Mt. Veeder Chardonnay 2019

My new Favorite white, just love mountain fruit! Named for mountain range dividing Napa & Sonoma, old stone winery dug into side of dormant volcano crater in 1889, remained in production ever since. Pale lemon with aromas of Tropical and stone fruit with complex spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, pear and citrus with light oak and nutty tones, fresh and vibrant, well integrated. Long finish ending with fruit and flinty mineral characteristics. Long aging potential. Nice! โ€” 2 years ago

Nuts, the 2019 is not available out here. Just 2020 and possibly 2018. Have you tried those?

John, yes I have had several bottles of the โ€˜18 (actually bought a case) have none left but the โ€˜18 should be great with a bit of age on it. Wish I had one left.
