Santo Tomás is the oldest winery in the Baja region. Jesuit missionaries first established vineyards, (now privately held) in 1791, just 5 years after the US signed its Constitution. Over a century later, in 1888 the land was purchased by Francisco Adonegui and Spaniard Miguel Olmart and became Mexico's first large scale commercial winery.

The largest landowners in the 5 valleys of northern Baja, Santo Tomás has access to some of the best fruit available. The quality and balance of their wines is a signature of the estate. 

Winemaker Laura Zamora passed the baton she held since 2003 to the talented Christina Pino in 2019 and the first results of Christina's efforts are all that we'd hoped for. Expect to see this estate delivering increasingly high levels of quality. Christina plans to lower yields, increase quality, and work towards fully organic farming. 

Made with organic grapes.

Tasting Notes: A beautiful light ruby red in the glass, notes of black cherry, blueberry, strawberry, pink peppercorn, and cedar on the nose. On the palate, the wine delights with a smooth silky mouthfeel that is remarkably fresh and finishes with a clean touch of bright acidity that leaves you thirsty for more. An excellent wine for an easy afternoon around the grill or slightly chilled at the beach.

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon

Region: Baja California, Mexico
