About the wine
After 2 years of waiting for the perfect vintage, his highest-rated Petite Sirah is back!
Stephen harvested grapes from his Calaveras estate and sun-soaked Lodi to make your latest top-shelf Black Label wine – loaded with bold, jammy flavor and a touch of spice.
Your reigning winemaking champion only makes this sinfully-lush red once a blue moon, when the vintage is spectacular... And thanks to Angels, it’s yours for a steal.
Stephen’s dark and dreamy Petite is perfect for BBQ ribs dripping in sauce, or a juicy burger on the grill (the messier, the better!).
Best before
This wine will reward cellaring for a couple of years. And then some night when you've got guests over, bring it out to share. Everyone will congratulate your wisdom and wine knowledge.
Serving advice
When this wine is first released it will take 40-50 minutes to breathe. It's a big one, so let it. Later after it has had a chance to mellow, it won't take so long.
Food match
I'm thinking this wine will be great this fall just as harvest finishes up. Then we can relax and enjoy it. Liz might have started our first pot of beans. We use local organic beans and the ham hock we get from Whole Foods Market. Real comfort food at the time of year we can all use a little comforting.

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.
