Yian Lu Paso Robles Petite Sirah 2018
About the wine
It's finally back -- Yian's lush, brooding, award-winning Paso Robles Petite Sirah!
- Your Paso Petite Sirah packs a mouthful of rich, dark and oh-so-savory fruit flavors, like a warm berry pie right out of the oven, with a finish so smooth and elegant, you’ll be daydreaming about it for weeks.
- Yian selected the grapes for this intensely fruity Petite Sirah from a handful of prestige vineyards nestled deep in Paso Robles wine country and, thanks to your funding, was able to age and refine the wine to perfection in high-end oak barrels.
- Your Petite Sirah “truly represents how good Paso Robles wine can be,” Yian says – and it’s got the medals to prove it! Scoop up a bottle of yours today and taste what everyone’s been raving about.
Best before
Enjoy now or through the next 7 years. Serving at a slightly cooler temperature (65 ºF) will deliver more floral and mineral aromas, along with Petite Sirah’s characteristic bold fruit.
Serving advice
It’s strongly recommend to store the wine in a cool area of around 55ºF for at least 2 weeks after receiving the wine, to avoid the bottle shock during shipment. Decant for 60 minutes and serve at room temperature (63ºF to 68ºF).
Food match
Pair with your favorite cut of beef, braised short ribs, roasted duck, lamb racks or roasted pork tenderloin. It also goes well with aged cheddar, smoked gouda or asiago cheese.
Contains sulphites

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.”
