La Solana Vino de Parcela Cordón Trenzado Listan Negro 2015

Cranberry and earthy notes on the nose. Leads with some light berry notes and some funk. White pepper and light minerality on the finish. Delicious — 7 years ago

Light tannins as well that balance things out beautifully. Overall light and easy drinking

La Solana Vino de Parcela Listan Negro 2010

Thought I let this one sit too long, but after a while it came back to life. Soulful. Dark red fruits and earth. Dig it. — 9 years ago

Envinate

Táganan Parcela Amogoje Malvasia Blend 2014

Single parcel field blend of very old own-rooted vines, on volcanic rock overlooking the Atlantic. Bruised pear skin, smoky volcanic ash, briny, wild herbs. One of 600ish bottles produced. All I need now is a few dozen oysters and some uni nigiri! — 9 years ago

Blanco Seco White Blend

Minerality on the nose. Pithy and flamed citrus on the palate. Surprising weight and nice acid. — 9 years ago

Bodegas Los Bermejos

Naturalmente Dulce Lanzarote Malvasia Bianca

A kick-ass dessert wine. Nutty, dried fruits, wildflower honey, coconut and exotic fruits. Nosing it you'd think oxydative wine but it delivers so much more when it hits your taste buds — 10 years ago

Miguel de Leon
9.0

Wine from Gran Canaria's "badlands" -- violets, juicy juice, nice kick at the end. Can do with a slight chill below cellar and even more stellar with food from the grill. — 10 years ago

And, btw, we never officially had a glass of wine together. We should change that.
