Origin
Meadowcroft makes signature reserve wines that are vineyard designated, expressing the best that each appellation has to offer. In addition to the Zinfandel, Meadowcroft makes Chardonnay and Viognier from Sonoma and a Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa's Mount Veeder. Pairings
Zinfandel can be high in both tannin and alcohol and calls for rich food with enough fat and protein to bring out the wine's softer side. Grilled meats, especially fatty selections like duck, sausages and pork or beef ribs fit the bill nicely, as do braised stews of lamb, beef or game. Sweet-spicy fare, especially barbecue and savory Asian sauces, will match well with the wine's deep fruit.Serve at cool room temperature (64°F).
Winemaker
Early in his career, Tom Meadowcroft worked at wineries in Bordeaux, Washington and Napa. Later, as a vineyard manager, he implemented environmentally responsible vineyard practices at dozens of top wineries in Napa and Sonoma. Today, his namesake wines are made from tiny lots of organically or sustainably grown grapes that he purchases from the finest growers. At these vineyards, Meadowcroft selects specific vineyard rows for his wines, which the grower maintains to Meadowcroft's specifications. The hallmark "honeybee" on the label symbolizes hard work, the journey of mastering a discipline and the process of transforming grapes from single vineyards into outstanding wines. The Wine
This wine evolves nicely in the glass, with wonderful dark fruit aromatics with hints of spice, clove, cedar and leather. The palate echoes the nose with notes of pepper, cinnamon and tobacco. The Meadowcroft is ripe, with good grip and balance, and delivers pleasing, smooth tannins. Recently Viewed :
