F. Stephen Millier Christine Andrew Lodi Zinfandel 2016
About the wine
Limited-release Lodi Zinfandel from the legendary Stephen Millier
- Intense, ripe black fruit flavors kick off this Zinfandel, followed by a light peppery spice and a rich, mouth-coating texture that carries on through a long-lasting finish.
- Your 3-time Winemaker of the Year Stephen Millier sourced this Zinfandel from select Lodi vineyards planted on sandy loam soils that help the grapes take on the region’s famously powerful character.
- With 5 years of aging behind it already, this Zin is ready to reward your taste buds immediately upon opening. Break out your favorite glasses and get sipping!
Best before
This wine has been fully aged already so there's no need for additional aging - it should reward immediately.
Serving advice
Please open this wine about 30 minutes before tasting to give it a chance to gather itself up for a proper introduction.
Food match
I enjoy pairing this Zinfandel with a small plate filled with a selection of hard cheeses beside torn off pieces of extra sour French bread.
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.
