7 Fuentes Valle de la Orotava Listan Negro-Tintilla Blend
My first Tenerife wine. Listan negro is the dark-skinned version of Palomino of Sherry, and Tintilla is probably Grenache. I was blown away with the price-vs-quality of this wine which was balanced and aromatic and revealed interesting notes on nose and palate including candied fruit, raspberry, herbs, white pepper, and a moderate oak profile.

Sep 4th, 2018Gorgeous color. A tad darker than Pinot noir. Rancid game, crushed rock on the nose. Palate is berry acid and punchy spice. Long concentrated finish.
