F. Stephen Millier Black Label Lodi Viognier 2019
About the wine
Lush and lively Lodi Viognier from the one and only Stephen Millier
- Overflowing with exotic fruit flavors, Stephen’s voluptuous Viognier is rich, juicy and endlessly refreshing.
- This wine was sent "direct to press", no crushing. That's why this Gold Country white is full of such fresh fruit... what you expect from a good Viognier!
- Watch a buttery braise of lemon and garlic clams jump to life when this Viognier joins the party. Chill it down, give a generous splash to the pan, then sip, sip away.
Best before
Because of the Foothill Viognier I've blended into this bottling it will stand the test of time. It should continue to improve for the next year or two and remain quite enjoyable for some time beyond that.
Serving advice
Serve with a slight chill and allow to open up in the glass for a few minutes.
Food match
My go too dish with Viognier is fresh sea scallops sautéed in a little olive oil and garlic scapes with fresh grape juice. Using Viognier juice is a real treat but you can only use it when the grapes are in season.
Contains sulphites
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.
