Meaghan Hodge & Stephen Millier Esmeralda Vineyard Merlot Cabernet 2019
About the wine
Sleek, single-vineyard red blend - a specialty from your stars of the Sierra Foothills
- This refined red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot packs a lean, elegant set of red berry and plum flavors that carry on with a smooth texture through a long, full finish.
- Using Angel funding, Meaghan and Stephen harvested their Cab and Merlot from the 38-year-old Esmeralda vineyard, set deep in the heart of Calaveras County on an old gold mining claim.
- This Cabernet Merlot blend is this granddaughter-grandfather team at their finest, and thanks to your support, they can bring it to Angels everywhere for an unbeatable price.
Best before
My aging advice is to keep this wine on its side in a cool, dark place for up to 5 years. However, this wine is bright and can absolutely be consumed immediately, aging is not required.
Serving advice
Open this wine 30 to 40 minutes prior to enjoying!
Food match
I recommend pairing this wine with slow cooker pulled pork, white rice, and a fresh coleslaw.
