The 2009 AN/2 is a blend of 65% Callet, 20% Mantonegre and Fogoneu and 15% Syrah aged in one-third French and American new oak. It has a wonderful bouquet of plush red berries, leather and melted tar that is very well defined and seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins and lush, mocha-tinged red fruit that is blessed with a satin-like texture from start to finish. This is a lovely Mallorcan red. Drink now-2017.
Anima Negra was established in 1994 by Pere Ignasi Obrador, Miquel Angel Cerda and Frances Grimault. They began modestly, using milk tanks from an old dairy farm and purchasing locally grown Callet grapes from farmers. Now, they source fruit from 135 selected parcels within six miles of the winery, the vines are all dry-farmed, and are between 50 and 85 years in age. Along with “4 Kilos,” they prove that holiday-goers in Mallorca should spend less time soaking up rays on the beach and more time seeking out its wines.
