2021 Meadowcroft Cabernet Sauvignon

100% Cabernet Sauvignon. 551 cases made. 14.5% alcohol.  No stats provided on oak usage, but there’s definitely some new French oak (and maybe some American) here. Ready to drink now- this is a great value on modern-style Napa Cab that you can pop and pour tonight! While Tom Meadowcroft made his name planning vineyards and pruning vines for some of the most iconic properties in California—names like Opus One, Cakebread, Duckhorn, Stags Leap—he always dreamed of founding his own project based on these principles.  

91 points, International Wine Report. "Boasting a dark purple and garnet core with a fluorescent red rim in the glass, the 2021 Meadowcroft Cabernet Sauvignon sports notes of baked plums, blackberry coulis, cassis, bitter herbs, new leather, and cedar forest. Tannins are grippy but sweet, while the ample acidity brings a nice black-fruit-forward finish.”

91 points, James Suckling. "Ripe blackberries and chocolate with some black olives, tobacco leaves and dark spices. Round and creamy on the palate, with just enough kick of energy and freshness to give a lift to the ripe, medium- to full-bodied palate. Good length and balance. Drink now.”
