Review · · by The Editors
Lamata Yaquiana Sonora
Sonora yaquiana at 51.1%. A rare variant that doesn't quite justify its own shelf
Score: 3.0/5 agaves
- Producer: Lamata
- Region: San Pedro de la Cueva, Sonora
- Agave: Yaquiana
- ABV: 51.1%
- Price: $150 ($$)
Verdict
Lamata Yaquiana Sonora is a variant completist's bottle rather than a general recommendation, the Encinas hand is fine, but the Sonora Yépiz lechuguilla from the same brand outworks it at similar money. Rare-variant documentation value; limited drinking case. Consensus 3.0; we agree.
Yaquiana exists on the label. In the glass it's working to arrive
Tasting notes
Nose: Desert herb with cooked fiber
Palate: Dry and austere at 51.1%. Yaquiana is a Sonoran agave rarely bottled; the Encinas production is technical but the agave itself doesn't carry enough distinct character to recommend over the Lechuguilla Sonora Yépiz from the same brand
Finish: Dry, cool, cool close, medium
The bottom line
A pass unless cataloging rare Sonoran variants
