Tasting last night at Anonima, solid restaurant and wine bar with a cool attached shop. Liz is La Trinidad representative and close with my Sommelier buddy Gabriel. Very heavy pours, especially of the two Vino Tinto. Small bites but tasting inexpensive so value was extraordinary.
Rosado is 100% Grenache and sees extended barrel aging. It’s not sangre! Really, really good. Medium intensity and real tannins. Could enjoy this with Cochinita Pibal.
White was a mess. 70% Chardonnay and rest Sav Blanc. Done in stainless and then 20% of ferment sees oak that isn’t new. Easy pass.
Minotauro is their best know wine, and an example of what’s being accomplished in Valle de Guadalupe. 80% Cab Sav and 20% Ruby Cabernet. Could drink this all day long. Delicioso.
Finished with robust pours of their Nebbiolo, which we all know may not be Nebbiolo genetically. Still quite good, though not up to Minotauro deliciousness.
