Verdict
Wilfrido García Sánchez keeps showing up in the catalog because he does this, builds ensembles that don't average. Coyote, tobalá, and tepextate at 47% is a greatest-hits roster, and he writes them as separate instruments rather than a triad. Two reviewers at 4.5; we agree. A bottle to open next to NETA's single-agave tepextates for a producer-level master class.
A three-agave ensamble where each voice stays in the chorus
Tasting notes
Nose: Orchid, then wet stone, dried fruit, green pepper
Palate: 47% ensamble where tobalá's minerality, coyote's lean karwinskii, and tepextate's floral top all stay distinct – Wilfrido's hand prints legibility across the palate
Finish: Floral-mineral, drying, very long
The bottom line
Buy. A serious ensamble by a serious maestro
