Meaghan Hodge & Stephen Millier Esmeralda Vineyard Sangiovese 2019
About the wine
Stunning, fruit-driven, single-vineyard Sangiovese from Meaghan and Stephen
- This powerful Italian-inspired red is a lush, savory specialty from Meaghan and Stephen, humming with dark fruit flavors that lead gracefully into a long, rich finish.
- With your support, 3-time WInemaker of the Year Stephen Millier teamed up with none other than his winemaking granddaughter Meaghan to bring you this top-grade Sangiovese from a single esteemed vineyard deep in the Sierra foothills.
- Meaghan and Stephen only made a few hundred cases of this decadent Calaveras County collaboration – scoop up a bottle of this bold, vibrant, multi-generational red while it lasts!
Best before
My aging advice is to keep this wine on its side in a cool, dark place for up to 5 years. However, this wine is bright and can absolutely be consumed immediately, aging is not required.
Serving advice
Open this wine 30-40 minutes prior to enjoying.
Food match
I really enjoy this wine paired with three-cheese lasagna, topped with a sweet bolognese sauce.
