Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons from Meadowcroft Wines // 2 Bottles

Meadowcroft Wines are Tom Meadowcroft’s reserve wines from boutique, family-owned vineyards in Sonoma and Napa. His family name Meadowcroft means a fertile meadow which has been carefully nurtured over time. He selected the honeybee, typically found in fertile meadows, as a symbol of the hard work and transformation essential to both a bee’s creation of honey and a winemaker’s creation of wine. With two decades of experience both growing wine grapes and making wine, Tom Meadowcroft focuses on balanced wines that bring together classic European flavor profiles with a twist of California creativity.

2020 Meadowcroft Cabernet Sauvignon
Rutherford, Napa Valley — 1 Bottle
Grown in soil once a riverbed, these wines are a blend of fruity and herbal flavors with a hint of spice, known as “Rutherford dust.” Meadowcroft’s 2020 Rutherford Cabernet is the perfect example, with its enticing aromas of toasty oak, dark cherry, and floral notes, followed by rich flavors of cranberry, mineral, pomegranate, cherry, and tobacco. Get ready to indulge in a wine that truly embodies the spirit of Rutherford.

Food Pairings: It’s difficult to steer away from the usual red meat recommendations, but a well-marbled cut of beef filet will perfectly complement the balanced acidity and rich fruit flavors of this wine. Vegetarians will enjoy dishes incorporating wild mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes or aromatic cheeses.

From the famed Oakville District in the Napa Valley, this is powerful yet graceful. On the nose, this wine offers aromas of ripe red fruits like raspberry and blackberry. Notes of Kirsch, raspberry compote and cocoa follow. Flavors of mixed red and black fruits blend nicely with the vanilla tones from the oak barrels.

Food Pairings: Dishes like grilled rack of lamb, braised short ribs or recipes that feature Portobello mushroom will all pair beautifully with this wine. Strong cheeses like triple cream blue cheese or aged sharp cheddar will complement the wine nicely.
