Verdict
47% helps the structure. Nuestra Soledad bottles village-designated espadín from the same palenques that feed Del Maguey and Jolgorio, at a price tier below both. Consensus 3.2 is a miss; this bottle is a 4.
The smartest way to taste San Luis del Rio for under $60
Tasting notes
Nose: Damp earth, sweet smoke, citrus peel, wildflower
Palate: Crisp, layered, with a signature San Luis minerality the Del Maguey version polishes down
Finish: Dry, faintly peppery. Long
The bottom line
Our top recommendation for understanding village terroir without spending premium money
