About the wine
Yian's award-winning Petite Sirah is a barrel-aged Paso Robles powerhouse
- Rich, sultry and packed with mouth-filling flavors of plum, fig and a peppery kick of spice, this plush Petite Sirah unfolds with one layer of barrel-aged smoothness after another on its way to a long, luxurious finish.
- With your support Yian got her pick of pristine Petite Sirah from select Paso Robles vineyards, then extensively blended the very best lots before landing on just the right flavors and texture for your wine. Then she aged it all in high-end French oak barrels for the ultimate touch of elegance.
- Your Petite Sirah “truly represents how good Paso Robles wine can be,” Yian says – it’s no wonder it’s picked up medal after medal and is one of your highest-rated Paso wines. It’s high time you treated yourself to a bottle – after all, it only exists because of you!
Best before
This Petite Sirah is delicious now and will age well through the next 7 years.
Serving advice
Be sure to store your bottle in a cool area at around 55ºF for at least 2 weeks after receiving it to avoid any bottle shock from the shipment. If possible, decant this red, or at least let it open up and air out for an hour before serving it at room temperature (around 63ºF to 68ºF).
Food match
Pair this Petite Sirah with your favorite cut of beef, braised short ribs, roasted duck, lamb racks, or roasted pork tenderloin. Aged cheddar, smoked gouda, or asiago cheese are also great matches, and for vegetables, try sautéed mushroom, eggplant, black beans, caramelized onions or stuffed peppers. If you're pairing it with dessert, go for dark chocolate, champagne truffles or whisky truffles.

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.”
