F. Stephen Millier Black Label California Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
About the wine
Your #1 winemaker's brought back your #1 Cab!
Stephen’s smooth, top-shelf Cab is loaded with seductive dark fruits, a touch of spice and velvety soft textures.
There’s a reason Stephen’s your most popular winemaker – he knows how to pick ‘em...literally. Harvesting premium grapes from the woodsy Sierra Foothills and sun-filled Lodi, he then aged your Cab in oak for supple textures and flavor.
Sip this Cab alongside some ribs dripping in BBQ sauce, a pasta salad and some fresh greens for full-on relaxation.
Best before
ready to be enjoyed now and know this wine ages nicely for several years because lately I've been serving my 2014 Black Label Cab to friends. It's been very nice, too, I might add.
Serving advice
It seems that when new this wine needs about 20-30 minutes to gather itself up and make a grand impression. I do have to admit that sometimes it is very difficult waiting that long.
Food match
The last time we opened a bottle (my 2015), we served friends slow-grilled ribs, baked potato and a refreshing pasta salad. You guessed it, we were tailgating at a San Francisco Giants game.

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.
