About the Wine
Bright. Lively. Irresistibly layered.
This Pinot Noir is a masterclass in balance—densely concentrated yet vibrant on the palate. It opens with seductive aromas of cranberry, pomegranate, and black cherry, laced with subtle herbs and a whisper of citrus. On the palate, it’s all cherry cola, black licorice, and ripe red berries—silky, lifted, and energetic.
The acidity sings. The fruit soars. The mouthfeel is pure velvet. And yes—it drinks beautifully now, but give it a year or two and it will only deepen.
Perfect Pairing? Wood-fired pizza. Truffled risotto. Anything earthy or savory with mushrooms and aged cheese.
Drink some now. Age some for later. Share with people who get it.
Meadowcroft crafts wines 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 sanctuary of excellence. He studied in Bordeaux, graduated from UC Davis, and has been obsessing over every detail since 1979. When someone dedicates their entire life to one pursuit, magic happens.
Tom took everything he learned from European winemaking legends and blended it with California’s fearless innovation. The result? Wines that marry the finesse of Old World tradition with the bold spirit of the West.
Executive Winemaker Petar Kirilov brings something nobody else has—authentic European winemaking DNA mixed with over a decade of Napa experience. He grew up making wine with his father in Bulgaria and honed his craft at elite Napa wineries, mastering the art of coaxing complexity and balance from every grape.
Bonfort’s Wine & Spirits Journal didn’t just randomly name Meadowcroft a Top 100 winery. This family-run operation is on a mission to stand among the greats, 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 produce mass-market wine. They craft small-lot, high-integrity wines that disappear quickly from those in the know. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
Tasting Notes
100% Pinot Noir. Densely concentrated, with inviting aromatics of cranberry, pomegranate, black cherry, and and subtle herbal notes along hints of citrus. The mouthfeel is vibrant from the notable acidity. Layered flavors of cherry cola, notes of black licorice, and ripe fresh cherries. This sumptuous wine is a delightful expression of cool-climate Pinot Noir.
