Jarvis Tomei California Mother Lode Red Blend 2015
About the wine
Bold and impressive red that makes everyday a special occasion
- This Syrah, Grenache and Zinfandel blend is, dare we say, the California equivalent of a robust French red from Rhone... the kind you can afford to drink every day.
- Jeff and Jessica, your Angel-funded winemakers, say: "The blend of fresh fruit from the Sierra foothills makes this wine distinct and delicious - this region really is the hidden gem for red wines in California."
- This red is from great value regions, where the fruit is still underrated, so you get great fruit and a great wine for an amazing price!
Best before
This wine has nice balance to age for 3-5 years but will serve you best in its youth.
Serving advice
Always give a little air in its first year of being bottled. This will help aerate the wine and help it to show its full character.
Food match
Charcuterie and sharp cheese is my go-to... but if I could summon the perfect dish it would be lamb risotto with mushrooms and fennel.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Jarvis Tomei Family
Years Angel-funded: 2012-18
- Jeff and Jessica worked around the world at top wineries in Italy, Chile and all over before settling down in California to craft boutique wines and make a family.
- Being a small boutique winemaker means a lot of time in the cellar and even more time selling the wine on the road. Angel-funding gave Jeff and Jessica to make and sell great wine without sacrificing the time to make memories with their kids while they were tots.
- And through a special rescue wine, Angels gave this family the funds they needed to stay afloat to cover their daughter's medical bills. 'Helping Hand' is the wine they made to thank you for your generosity!
