About the Wine

From the rugged volcanic slopes of Mt. Veeder comes a Cabernet that’s anything but ordinary. It opens with bold aromas of spice box, cinnamon, and vanilla-laced blackberry pie. On the palate, it’s a deep dive into black cherry, crushed rock, tobacco leaf, and silky waves of vanilla—layered, textured, and commanding.

The tannins grip. The minerality grounds. The finish lingers.

Perfect Pairing? Grilled ribeye. Wagyu burgers. Slow-braised short ribs. Or go wild—literally—with roasted mushrooms and anything packed with umami and char.
Only 221 cases made—and this mountain Cab is already turning heads.

High up on Mount Veeder's rocky slopes, where only the toughest vines survive, Meadowcroft crafts Cabernet with power, precision, and soul. The mountain air, ancient soils, and dramatic elevation changes all converge to shape wines of extraordinary character.

Tom Meadowcroft doesn't mess around. With three and a half decades of winemaking mastery, he's turned his estate vineyard into a temple of Cabernet perfection. This genius studied in Bordeaux, graduated from UC Davis, and has been obsessing over every detail since 1979. When someone dedicates their entire life to one thing, magic happens.

Tom took everything he learned from European winemaking legends and smashed it together with California's fearless innovation. The result? A Cabernet that has the refined elegance of a Bordeaux château and the bold, unapologetic character of Napa Valley. It's sophisticated rebellion in every sip.

Executive Winemaker Petar Kirilov brings something nobody else has – authentic European winemaking DNA mixed with over a decade of Napa excellence. Growing up making wine with his father in Bulgaria, then mastering his craft at elite Napa wineries, Petar knows how to coax pure magic from every grape.

Bonfort’s Wine & Spirits Journal didn’t just randomly pick Meadowcroft as a top 100 winery. This family operation is on a mission to join the ranks of the world’s greatest, and they’re not stopping until they get there. Every bottle is proof that they’re not just dreaming – they’re delivering.

Meadowcroft doesn’t make millions of bottles. They make exceptional wine in small quantities because that’s how you maintain this level of quality. When it’s gone, it’s gone. And trust us, wine this good doesn’t sit on shelves collecting dust – it disappears into the cellars of people who know greatness when they taste it.

2021 is looking to be one of the vintages of the decade. Wine Spectator blessed this year with a 97 point score, and said: "...resulting in a low crop in 2021. It produced fresh, vibrant and powerfully fruited wines, showing precision, floral lift and a sense of place. This vintage cements the new style in Napa."
