“Aromas and flavors of black cherry, ripe red cherry and wild raspberry; hints of violet, black pepper and savory spices with oaky notes of vanilla and coconut.”

“From old-vine callet (65%), as well as mantonegre and fogoneu, with a bit of syrah, ànima Negre bills this wine as an ideal introduction to the wines of Mallorca. ÀN/2 is an extremely well-balanced wine with a freshness that carries through the ripe fruit. Elegant aromas of dried fig, bright raspberry and violets lead into flavors of ripe raspberry, cedar and herbs. The wine is medium bodied with fantastic balance and finish. Drinks like a wine nearly twice its price.”

RECOMMENDED: “Mallorca is barely on the wine map, which is precisely why three friends launched this winery in 1994 to highlight the island’s bounty….A mix of indigenous Callet, Mantonegre and Fogoneu, plus Syrah, is a bit flashy, but also wonderfully spiced, like a Christmas wreath, with conifer and cinnamon. There’s engaging red fruit to match bacon and licorice highlights.”
