Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain
I will never get over this wine. It smells like a sexy person's exhaled cigar breath. Mmmm.

Very cool surprise. 1st time tasting a Gran Canaria wine and ditto Listan Negro. Translucent bright ruby that fades into a burnt orange rim. Sexy spiced red cherry and plum and breathy, dank cigar smoke on the nose. Transitions smoothly into dashes of ground pepper, worn leather, and brandy-braised orange and red fruit on the palate. High acid. Tannins are hard to describe, coming in late and light, but toothsome. Lots to think about here and huge QPR value.

Canary Islands deliver once more. Front is spicy, but then gives way to mouth filling hot stone and minerality with a hint of red currant and cranberry on the clean finish. Totally pleasurable and a wonderful match with an excellent roast chicken

Leathery notes of clay, soil, minerals and a bit of pepper upfront and then moves on to red fruit notes. Light but has a personality. Paired well with pork spare ribs

Light bodied, balanced tannins and acid with dominant spice flavors, especially black pepper on the back end.
