Red wine from California, with the alcohol removed
Tomorrow Red Blend is Petite Sirah from Lodi, aged 14 months in one-year-old French oak barrels before the alcohol is removed. Cassis and dark cherry lead, with cocoa, subtle oak and dried herbs behind them. Each bottle contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume.
Where does Tomorrow Red Blend come from?
The fruit is Petite Sirah from Lodi, California. Every label reads "California."
Lodi also grows the Marsanne in Tomorrow Rhône Blanc.
How is Tomorrow Red Blend made?
The grapes are pressed and fermented, and the finished wine spends 14 months in French oak barrels that are one year old. Only then is the alcohol removed, in a step we call gentle alcohol removal.
The ingredients read: "De-alcoholized red wine, natural botanical extract, and sulfites (to protect quality.)" The extract goes in just before bottling, a blend of whole botanicals we developed with Ian Blessing of All the Bitter.
Why is Tomorrow Red Blend lighter in body?
Because the alcohol is gone. We keep the red lighter in body on purpose, a natural result of the alcohol removal. The finish is smooth, with warm spice, mint and sage under the fruit.
What have critics and judges said about Tomorrow Red Blend?

The Daily Pour, October 2025: "A lot of people say that non-alc red wine is the hardest to get right, and I’m inclined to agree. But this sub-category has come a long, long way. Enter Tomorrow Cellars’ 2023 Red Blend."
