WINE DESCRIPTION
Santo Tomás Cabernet Sauvignon is a robust red wine from the Baja California region of Mexico, produced by one of the country’s oldest wineries. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes thrive in the warm, sunny climate and well-drained soils, resulting in a wine with great depth and structure. The winemaking process involves careful fermentation and maturation in oak, enhancing the wine's complexity. Expect rich aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and hints of tobacco, with a full-bodied palate that offers smooth tannins and a long, satisfying finish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Cabernet Sauvignon opens with enticing aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and subtle notes of cedar and spice.The palate is rich and structured, offering dark fruit flavors, well-integrated tannins, and a touch of smokiness from oak aging. Its long, robust finish makes it an ideal partner for roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or aged cheeses.

ORIGINS
Winery: Santo Tomás
Region: Baja California
Baja California is a Mexican state located on the western coast of the country, bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Gulf of California to the east. It is the second-largest state in Mexico and is home to some of the country's most exciting and innovative winemaking.
Winemaking in Baja California dates back to the 1683, when Spanish missionaries planted the first vineyards in the region. Since then, the region has seen a steady growth in its wine industry, with the first modern winery established in the late 19th century. Today, Baja California is one of Mexico's most important wine regions, producing a wide range of styles from both international and local grape varieties.CUSTOMER RATING
