Yian Lu Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
About the wine
This decadent barrel-aged Cabernet is a world-class Central Coast crowd-pleaser
- A velvety punch of bold black cherry, dark plum and a complex, long-lasting finish make this one elegant Cabernet you can dive into any night of the week.
- Your funding helped Yian select high-end grapes for this Cabernet Sauvignon from a pair of prestige vineyards in Paso Robles, and give your wine extra love in the cellar, including a generous bit of barrel-aging in French oak.
- Thanks to you, this classically smooth Cabernet “truly represents how good Paso Robles’ wine can be,” Yian says. Score yourself a bottle while it lasts – you deserve every drop!
Best before
This Cabernet is ready to be enjoyed now, and will age well over the next 5 years.
Serving advice
It's strongly recommended to store the wine in a cool area for at least 2 weeks after receiving your bottle to avoid the bottle shock during shipment. Let it air out and breather for about an hour and serve it at room temperature (63ºF to 68ºF).
Food match
For meats, try pairing this Cabernet with barbecue beef ribs, steaks, beef burgers, freshly baked wood-fired pizzas. For cheeses, try aged gouda, blue cheese, cheddar cheese or Sanit-Pierre cheese. For vegetable options, try sautéed mushroom, eggplant, black bean, caramelized onion, stuffed peppers, or currants (in a savory dish).
Contains sulphites

Meet the winemaker - Yian Lu
Yian says it was a series of lucky strikes that got her into wine. But luck aside, it’s talent and drive that got this powerhouse the spotlight in California's Central Coast. And Angels like YOU, of course!
Working with her mentor (and fellow Angel-funded winemaker) Sharon Weeks, Yian's the Assistant Winemaker for a beautiful winery outside of Paso Robles. And now with your support, she has the freedom to make her own Paso reds, whites, and Rosés – they're her first-ever!
Born and raised in Taipei, Yian is proud to represent her Taiwanese heritage in her wines for Angels – and show off her own personal style. "Ten years ago, I never would have imagined that this was my life,” Yian said, smiling wide. “But thanks to Angels, I’m living my dream.”
