Verdict

Rezpiral built its name on single-maestro bottlings, and Reina Sánchez's pairing of coyote and pulquero is a sharp one: two americana relatives that share a backbone but split on the top end. The blend reads wild and dry, never sweet. Buy it if Rezpiral's catalog already has your trust; this is among the stronger recent additions.

Two wild americanas, pulling in tandem

Tasting notes

Nose: Green herb, dark earth, ripe melon, wet stone, a faint anise

Palate: Layered and dry at 45-50%. Coyote's bright vegetal edge against pulquero's earthier weight, both americana relatives, mineral through the middle

Finish: Long, herbal, drying

The bottom line

Buy it; a standout in the Rezpiral lineup
