Meadowcroft Anniversary Cuvée (Non Vintage)
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc,
Malbec, Petite Verdot, Merlot and Touriga Nacional
Napa Valley, California (USA)
Winemaker: Tom Meadowcroft
Retail: $58
Harvested 2021 and released 2023. They added Touriga Nacional which was recently sanctioned for use in Bordeaux blends in 2021 by France's national appellation body, INAO.
A crowd favorite for the aromas of berry fruit mixed with black licorice and a fair amount of tannins. The palate demonstrated coffee, pencil shavings, and rasberries. While a non-vintage this wine could cellar property for another 10 years. Hats off to Meadowcroft for attention to winemaking detail.
