About the wine
Top-rated Zinfandel from your master of the Sierras
- Stephen trained his Zinfandel vines in Amador county to grow just the way he liked them – and fermented this 92% rated red in small lots to enhance its extra-juicy flavor.
- Pour yourself a glass of decadent red and cozy your toes up to a fire. His spicy, powerful Zin will make you feel right at home, no matter where you are.
- Your Angel-funded winemaker says: "My first year making wine in the Sierras, I was introduced to the pleasures of Zinfandel with grilled lamb on skewers with onion and peppers, and I've never looked back."
Best before
This wine will age a long time. And it will get better for the next 3-5 years. But it tastes so good right now. Buy a few more bottles and keep checking to see how good it is!
Serving advice
Open it early and often. Pour it for friends and anyone you'd like to be friends with.
Food match
My first year making wine in the Sierra's I was introduced to the pleasures of Amador Zinfandel with grilled lamb on skewers with onion and peppers, and I've never looked back. Oh, it doesn't hurt to invite plenty of people over to help enjoy them either.
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.
