Yian Lu Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
About the wine
This Paso Rebel brought you a bold new Cab to love
- This rich red is more indulgent than chocolate at midnight – loaded with bright black cherries and bursts of toasty, peppery spices from French oak aging.
- Since day 1, Yian has dreamt of making you a Cab. In fact, it's the wine that got her into winemaking. Now, with your funding, the dream's real – and harvested from two of Paso's top vineyards, it's more delicious than you could hope for.
- Yian put 110% into this wine, and it shows – gather up a few bottles before every Angel realizes just how good Cali Cab can be.
Best before
Enjoy now, or age! It will drink well over the next 5 years.
Serving advice
I strongly recommend storing in a cool area for at least 2 weeks after receiving the wine to let it rest after shipment. Decant for 60 minutes and serve at room temperature!
Food match
Meats (barbecue ribs, steaks, beef burgers) Freshly baked wood-fired pizzas, Cheese (aged Gouda, blue cheese, cheddar cheese) Veggies (sautéed mushrooms, eggplant, black beans, caramelized onions, stuffed peppers)
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Yian Lu
Yian says it was a series of lucky strikes that got her into wine. But luck aside, it’s talent and drive that got this powerhouse the spotlight in California's Central Coast. And Angels like YOU, of course!
Working with her mentor (and fellow Angel-funded winemaker) Sharon Weeks, Yian's the Assistant Winemaker for a beautiful winery outside of Paso Robles. And now with your support, she has the freedom to make her own Paso reds, whites, and Rosés – they're her first-ever!
Born and raised in Taipei, Yian is proud to represent her Taiwanese heritage in her wines for Angels – and show off her own personal style. "Ten years ago, I never would have imagined that this was my life,” Yian said, smiling wide. “But thanks to Angels, I’m living my dream.”
