F. Stephen Millier Obsession California Red 2018
About the wine
Stephen's limited-edition red blend brings you the best of his two favorite regions
- This easy-sipping blend of Merlot, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah hums with dark fruit flavors like blueberry and plum for a light and bright red that’ll complete any night of the week.
- Stephen sourced the grapes for this blend from select vineyards throughout his stomping grounds of Lodi and California’s Sierra Foothills, combining fruit grown on Lodi's sandy loam soils with grapes from the iron-rich volcanic soils of the Foothills for a wine of generous depth and complexity.
- This red blend is perfectly satisfying all on its own, but also goes wonderfully with food. Stephen’s personal suggestion is a wood-fired pizza topped with wild mushrooms.
Best before
This wine is delicious now and can continue to age well for another year or so.
Serving advice
It helps to open this wine a few minutes before you dig in. That gives it a chance to gather itself up for a proper tasting experience.
Food match
I'm thinking a wood fired pizza topped with wild mushrooms would be a great way to enjoy this wine and the pizza.

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.
