About the wine
Decadence in a glass
The richest of them all! Petite Sirah is deep and inky, overflowing with mouthfilling flavors like warm and gooey blackberry pie. You might taste peppery spice – that’s from 14 months of American oak!
With the Angel funding, your 3-time Winemaker of the Year harvested this sultry red estate Calaveras and Lodi vineyards, ensuring quality every step of the way.
This is a Reserve-level bombshell for an incredible deal. “It's like stealing but with a receipt,” Stephen says.
Best before
My 2021 Black Label Petite should reward proper cellaring if that's what you're into. I say it should get better over the next two or so years and then be a rewarding experience after that.
Serving advice
I'd say that one should open this baby up about 45 minutes before pouring that first glassful.
Food match
I'm having a vision that includes a low and sow BBQed pork shoulder, but sliced instead of pulled, with a quick sear before popping it into a fresh made artisan bun. That's when you pile on the fixin's which has to include sliced Klaussen pickles and spicy sauce. Please have greens and corn on the side.

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.
