About the wine
Deep, dark and powerfully fruity Petite Sirah, barrel-aged for absolute decadence
- Stephen’s latest powerhouse Petite Sirah pulses with bold, brooding dark fruit flavors, a sumptuous, silky smoothness and just a dash of peppery spice.
- Your 3-time Winemaker of the Year sourced this sultry red from his own Lodi and Calaveras County vineyards. Then, thanks to your support, he was even able to age it in lavish, small oak barrels for 14 months.
- For helping Stephen craft this red's bold, jaw-dropping flavors to perfection, Angels get this world-class Black Label wine for an incredible deal. “It's like stealing but with a receipt,” Stephen says.
Best before
This 2018 Black Label Petite Sirah should reward proper cellaring for the next few years and beyond. If I were you I'd pick up a few extra bottles just to be sure you don't miss out.
Serving advice
This wine has been properly aged at the winery, in small oak barrels no less. So it will just need a few minutes to open up and show its strength when you open it.
Food match
I'm thinking this wine will be just about right this fall. I'm thinking about a slowly barbecued pork shoulder served with cast iron cooked corn bread and greens. You know what I'm talking about.
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.
