  My first Canary Islands wine and it’s definitely distinctive. Fresh chopped bitter veggies (esp peppers but also something more like leafy herb) and ash stand out. M- acid and low tannin but dry and fairly light body. Not surprisingly worked very well with mojo picon on papas arrugadas and tofu tacos. Picks up some zippier fruit once chilled on day two. This is a fun/interesting wine and I’d buy it again to have with similar food again but probably not otherwise. Would like to try some higher end Canary Islands wine. ~5.5/10

  Distinct smoke outfront along with gasoline and stony minerality. Red berry aromas redolent of cherry and cornelian cherry follow. Vivid, fruitful and succulent on the palate with an energizing finish.

  The 2015 7 Fuentes represents amazing value, especially considering the price tags that these new wave Spanish wines have been demanding lately. The nose was a mix of crushed stone, scorched earth, exotic florals, strawberry (stems and all) and savory herbs. On the palate, soft textures were offset by teeming acidity, with notes of young strawberry, and saline-minerality, with hints of grippy tannin tugging at the senses. The finish was long, vibrant and tactile, as hints of tannin saturated, while wild red berry, pepper and herbal tones resonated throughout. Yum!

  A nice, bright, and juicy red with little of the complexity of their more expensive bottlings. I think I'd rather pay up a bit for the Esquilon or their other more serious wines.
