About the wine
Robust, Angel-favorite Reserve Zinfandel
- Stephen’s juicy Reserve-level Zinfandel is jam-packed with bold dark fruits and a soft trace of spice from oak aging, woven together for a luxurious, balanced finish.
- Your funding helped Stephen harvest Zinfandel from a handful of vineyards throughout his home turf of Calaveras County, coupling robust fruit from head-trained old vines with punchier Zin from sites with younger vines.
- As one of Angels’ most highly-rated and sought-after Zinfandels of all time, it's no surprise this decadent red always sells out in a flash. Be sure you save a few bottles for yourself before Stephen’s fans scoop them all up!
Best before
This bottling should age quite nicely for the next 5-10 years. I haven't actually been able to hold any of them this long unless I have accidentally misplaced the bottle in my cellar. I'm always rewarded for my good fortune and planning.
Serving advice
I would probably try to open this bottle 35-45 minutes ahead of time. I talk brave but usually I pour a glass immediately after opening.
Food match
My favorite Zin food pairing is braised lamb shanks with mixed root vegetables and small roasted potatoes. Delish.
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.
