Jim Olsen Sweet Angel California 2016
About the wine
Softly sweet red blend honestly, I love this one chilled!
- Juicy, bright and slightly sweet red blend harvested nearby California's Mokelumne River vineyards.
- Jim's expert mix of Zin and Syrah is balanced with generous bright fruit flavors and a nice smooth touch of natural sweetness. This is one delicious sipper that makes every sip more fun to drink than the last.
- Honestly, if you've ever enjoyed Apothic Red, try this wine. It's like its classy grown-up cousin.
Best before
Wait a few months after bottling. Will improve for 1-2 years, and last for many more.
Serving advice
For first 3-4 months, aerate.
Food match
Pizza with spicy sausage, spicy curry.
Contains sulphites

Years Angel-funded: 2012-18
