    Like Napa in the 70s...

    Baja’s sun-blanketed landscape, profound Pacific influence, and rocky soils produce wines so delicious that the Spanish government once banned them. The competition, they reasoned, was far too serious to allow it to threaten Spain’s top bottles.

    Those Spanish bureaucrats would’ve been outraged at Bruma’s 2020 Plan B Tinto, a ruby-hued jewel from what’s now one of the world’s most exciting wine regions. It’s proof that the elite wineries of Baja’s Valle de Guadalupe can compete not only with powerhouses in Spain, but also in Italy, France, and the US. 

    A blend of Grenache, Mourvedre, Merlot, and Malbec, the wine boasts lushness and spice layers that will enthrall lovers of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and the bold fruit of California’s Central Coast—Mission plum accented by violet, garrigue, and graphite.

    Crafted by the exceedingly talented Lulu Martinez Ojeda, an alum of Margaux icon Château Brane-Cantenac, the Plan B shows the vibrancy, multidimensionality, and versatility that’s landed Bruma’s wines on lists at top restaurants like The French Laundry. She picks early to balance the naturally concentrated fruit with a fresh acidity and then ages the wine in barriques to polish the tannins to perfection.

    Valle de Guadalupe’s climate is a slightly warmer cross between the Southern Rhône and Tuscany. Balanced by Pacific breezes and rich in rocky soils that challenge the vines to be vigorous, the region has all the ingredients of a world-class winegrowing area.

    Valle de Guadalupe reminds us of Napa in the 1970s—a place with immense potential, a spirit of innovation, and a community of quality-minded producers. It’s still tough to find the region’s bottles in the US, which is why the complex and lively Plan B is the perfect place to start.
