Meaghan Hodge & Stephen Millier Esmeralda Vineyard Syrah 2019
About the wine
Powerhouse, single-vineyard Syrah, brought to you by your Sierra Foothills dream team
- This bold Syrah brings you mouthfuls of dark fruits, like black cherry and plum, with a soft kick of spice and a long, smooth finish.
- With your support, Meaghan and Stephen harvested this wine’s Syrah grapes along with a tiny portion of Cabernet from the storied Esmeralda Vineyard, tucked deep within the Sierra Foothills on an old gold mining claim.
- If powerful California reds with full-on fruit are your thing, you definitely don’t want to miss this limited release from Meaghan and Stephen!
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
I recommend opening this wine 30 to 40 minutes prior to enjoying.
Food match
I enjoy this wine paired with sweet pulled pork and fresh coleslaw.
