Meaghan Hodge & Stephen Millier Esmeralda Vineyard Syrah 2018
About the wine
Single-vineyard Syrah from a fabled foothills vineyard
- This sultry Syrah shimmers with sumptuous flavors of dark, ripe cherry and deep, rich plum that glide along with a savory touch of spice on an endlessly smooth finish.
- With your support, Meaghan and Stephen were able to source their fruit from the storied Esmeralda Vineyard, tucked deep within the Sierra Foothills on an old gold mining claim.
- Meaghan and Stephen only made a few hundred cases of their debut Angel-funded Syrah – if sultry, top-notch California reds are your thing, you definitely don’t want to miss this limited release!
Best before
Aging three to four years would be optimal for this wine.
Serving advice
Open this wine 20 to 30 minutes before pouring the first glass.
Food match
I enjoy this wine paired with pan roasted steak, baked potatoes, and crispy oven baked broccoli.
