2022 Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap
TASTING NOTES
The 2022 Meadowcroft Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon offers vibrant aromas of pomegranate, mineral, strawberry, cinnamon, and subtle toasted oak. Its palate features layers of sweet cherry, boysenberry, vanilla, and a touch of white pepper, all wrapped in a smooth mouthfeel with pronounced acidity. This lively and balanced wine is a delightful expression of the Stags Leap terroir, ideal for pairing with diverse cuisine or enjoying on its own.
SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRING
The Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon pairs wonderfully with dishes that complement its bright acidity and fruit-forward profile. Try roasted duck breast with a cherry glaze, herb-crusted pork tenderloin, or seared salmon with a pomegranate reduction. For vegetarian options, consider grilled portobello mushrooms or a beet and goat cheese salad. Its gentle tannins and hints of white pepper also make it an excellent match for creamy cheeses like brie or camembert.
