Jarvis Tomei California Mother Lode Rhone Red Blend El Dorado County 2016
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 is meant to drink right out of the gate but will age nicely for 3-5 years or more as well.
Serving advice
Decanting this wine will always open up the flavors and complexity of this wine faster.
Food match
This wine is meant to be versatile and be enjoyed as a cocktail wine or with strong cheese and grilled meat. Santa Maria style barbecue would hit the spot for sure.
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!
