2023 Meadowcroft Pinot Noir Anderson Valley

100% Pinot Noir sourced from a “secret” unable-to-be-published vineyard site just north of Boonville that other big name producers sell from $75+. Aged in 30% new French and American oak. 13.5% alcohol. 687 cases made. Aromas of cherry cordial, vanilla, Amarena cherry and notes of rose petal flow from the glass. Layered complex lavors of sweet cranberry, tart cherry and wild strawberry, with vibrant acidity and a long finish.   Tom is all about top vineyard pedigree, limited production, and Old World winemaking. Back when he was planning vineyards and pruning vines for some of the most iconic properties in California—names like Opus One, Cakebread, Duckhorn, Stags Leap—he dreamed of founding his own project based on these principles. To say that his connections have come in handy is the understatement of the year.

94 points, Wine Enthusiast. "This wine is rich, with aromas of raspberry, strawberry, vanilla cream, dried herbs and florals. Flavors are of ripe berries and candied orange rind, intertwined with Bing cherry, dried clove and a dry, supple finish. Pair with roasted duck breast and cherry compote."
