Wine

This monovarietal expression of cabernet sauvignon from the Valle de Santo Tomás highlights the extent to which the unique terroir of Baja California serves to create wines that are wholly unique. Many of the plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon that are used in the production of this wine were first planted by Dimitri Tchelistcheff, noted winemaker and son of the post-prohibition Napa Valley pioneer during his tenure at Bodegas de Santo Tomás. The wine is well-structured and balanced but is also surprisingly restrained in style and expression, highlighting the freshness of the fruit while also offering an underlying florality that is seemingly a unique hallmark of Cabernet Sauvignon from this part of Baja California.

Complex aromas and medium intensity. Outstanding notes of pineapple, peach, juniper, golden apple, banana, and sweet grapefruit, followed by a hint of chamomile and orange blossom.

Pairs well with sushi, creamy cheese, mixed berries tart, Mexican Potosí enchilada.

This two varietal blend comes from the Línea Clásica of Bodegas de Santo Tomás representing wines that distinctly embody both the unique terroir of the Valle de Santo Tomás and the ethos of the winery which is centered around stewardship, preservation, and harmony with the land which the winery has occupied for centuries. The Tempranillo vines are among the oldest plantings in the vineyards, some of which were planted over 100 years ago and are still producing grapes of remarkable quality and concentration. These Tempranillo grapes are combined with Cabernet Sauvignon to create a wine that is highly structured and well balanced offering good acidity, well-integrated tannins, bright red fruit, and a lingering finish.
