Meadowcroft, River Trace, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre 2020 (Lodi, CA)

Producer Notes: This Rhone-style blend leads with bold notes of ripe plum, blueberries, and leather. The palate is delectably smooth, with suggestions of sweet cherry cola, dried cherries, tea leaves, and warm clove. This medium-bodied wine finishes elegantly, with lingering characters of hazelnut and roasted coffee beans that complement the precise tannin structure.
