Semilla Zinfandel Sierra Foothills 2012
About the wine
Newest Arrival
- Dee-licious, it's rare to find a wine that's so fresh, ripe, and spicy all at once.
- Jessica worked with a real quirky grapegrower and the highest altitude Zin we've ever heard of (3100 feet above sea level!). The vines are planted in hexagonal rows like a honeycomb -- the vineyard is crazy and Jessica struck gold with this unique place in the Sierra Foothills.
- Since it's single-vineyard and relatively low yield, Jessica could only make a bit of this. Try it before it runs out.
Best before
Enjoy now through the next 2-3 years
Serving advice
I would serve this slightly chilled (below cellar temperature, but not refrigerator cold). Let it breathe for about 15 minutes.
Food match
Roasted Sweet Italian sausages with bell peppers, tomatoes and carrots with fresh thyme. Serve with a side salad of Arugula with shaved parmesan

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!
