Meadowcroft
Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
Anderson Valley, North Coast, California, USA
Pretty color of ruby with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of bing cherries, wood and chocolate notes.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry and fruit forward on the palate with red cherries, currants, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates and light earth.
Tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a nice surprise. This one year old Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley is already drinking very nicely. Needs a couple of years in the bottle to mature properly, as it was just bottled a month ago.
Nicely balanced with mild complexity. Soft and elegant.
I've had a few vintages of this wine, and it always delivers. Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

Apr 28th, 2021Deep red in color with medium intensity.
Nice nose of bing cherries, strawberries, red currants, light oak, spices, red candy and black pepper.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, strawberries, spices, peppercorn, cocoa and red candy.
Medium length on the finish, and spicy with fine grained tannins.
This is a very nice Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley. Nicely balanced and easy drinking. Spicy and interesting. A good quality wine. Showing mild complexity with a nice mouthfeel.
I think this is my first red wine from this 2019 vintage.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime when tannins show up. Would be better in the next 5 years.
A good wine to sip on by the pool. Good by itself or with food. Nice with a light chill too.
This is not my usual drinker, but I really enjoyed it with the setting and the food.
I paired it with a creamy Danish style cheese with dill, by the river.
A very small production of only 112 cases.
