Angel's Reserve

2013 Lodi Petite Sirah

F. Stephen Millier's Angel's Reserve is a remarkable Petite Sirah from the renowned Lodi region, showcasing the diversity and richness of this notable winegrowing area. This beautiful red wine pours with deep, dark hues, hinting at its full-bodied character and intense flavor profile. With an exuberant acidity that gives it a bright and refreshing lift, the wine presents layers of ripe blackberries, plums, and hints of dark chocolate. The tannins are firm and structured, providing a solid backbone while elegantly complementing the fruit. This delightful offering is off-dry, creating a luscious mouthfeel that invites another sip, underscored by subtle spice notes that linger on the palate. Perfect for enjoying on its own or paired with hearty dishes, Angel's Reserve is a splendid representation of Lodi's winegrowing talent.

Region:


Lodi

The jewel of the Central Valley, Lodi lies just east of the California Delta in an area of varied terroir. Winemakers here can extract different grape variety expressions from each plot of land. Zinfandel is common here, making deeply fruity and tantalizingly smoky wines, often from old vines. But the deep loamy soils and balmy Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cool nights, help keep Lodi's grape varieties and winemaking styles impressively diverse. Alongside the ubiquitous Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Viognier also thrive. Lodi is a melting pot of different grape varieties and winemaking techniques, all of which make it a rewarding region to explore.
