“The 2024 Meadowcroft Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley pours a rich ruby-red with depth at the core. The nose shows layers of ripe red plum, cherry cordial, vanilla bean, and hints of clove. The palate is plush and mouth-filling, bringing flavors of dark berries, cocoa, and damp earth alongside toasted spice. Full in body yet approachable, it carries a rounded texture that glides into a smooth, fruit-driven finish.”
