2020 Melange Red Blend, Dry Creek Valley
Sonoma County
Tasting Notes: Meadowcroft uses Old World techniques and New World creativity in order to make superb wines that showcase the excellence of the fruit. Tom produces very small quantities of wine, focusing on the composition details of each lot to create wines that showcase the fruit and growing region. “Mélange Red Blend” delivers with upfront aromas of blackberry jam and plum, buttressed by underpinnings of jammy, dark fruit flavors. The palate is rich and complex, with warm clove and cinnamon spice. The finish is sumptuous, with lingering mocha and traces of vanilla from the 25% French oak used in aging. It will be excellent with pork ragù or mushroom risotto with truffles.
Food Pairing: Try this special blend with foods that traditionally pair with Cabernet, like grilled meat or dishes that feature fresh garden herbs. This wine would also be excellent with pork ragù or mushroom risotto with truffles.
