About the wine
Classic barrel-aged Cabernet dripping with juicy, mouth-filling fruit and 90+ ratings
- With such elegant, bold and mind-blowing dark berry flavors – not to mention an exquisite velvety smoothness – it’s easy to see why this is one of the most popular Angel-funded Cabs of all time.
- Your funding helped this 3-time Winemaker of the Year pull out all the stops yet again for the 7th vintage of this classic Cab with an impeccable blending of Lodi Cab with first-class fruit from Stephen’s own Calaveras estate.
- Stephen even aged this luscious red in French and American oak barrels for an extra splash of richness and complexity. One sip and you’ll know why Angels have rated every single vintage over 90%.
Best before
This is a cork finished wine, which means it is capable of aging in your cellar in bottle quite nicely. I recently opened a 2016 vintage and it was quite beautiful.
Serving advice
When opening this wine I'd plan on removing the cork between 30-45 minutes before really getting serious about tasting it. Of course you could use one of those aeration devices to speed up the process, but I'm not in any real hurry and I'd much rather enjoy the journey.
Food match
I'm not usually one to go for the beef, but for this wine I make an exception. Recently we discovered the joys of oven finishing a filet roast after first browning it on the stovetop in a cast iron skillet. It seems complicated but it isn't when you put it into practice. Combine the filet with roasted creamer potatoes drizzled with olive oil and crushed sea salt with fresh asparagus and you're all set.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Stephen Millier
- Stephen is no stranger to gold medals, but usually his prestigious employers are the only ones in the limelight.
- We offered Stephen some Angel funding to set aside some of his favorites wines and vineyards to make a special range with his name on the label just for us, and he jumped at the opportunity.
- If you like underdogs, Stephen's your man. He will find the over-looked and under-appreciated and he will take precious care to make sure they grow into big, beautiful wines that deserve more attention.
