It’s another very small production, Perfect 10 Taste Rating from Meadowcroft Wines! Don’t miss your chance to SAVE $XX a bottle on the new vintage of the Meadowcroft River Trace GSM (Grenache-Syrah-Mourvedre).
If there’s one thing we know, it’s that all of you love a good Meadowcroft deal. Well, today we have a great deal on a Bulk Buy rated, Rhone-style GSM blend.
We previously brought you the 2021 vintage of this wine, which judging by the feedback we received, you all loved. The 2022 on offer here today is at least as good with scores all the way up to 98 points — and our price is even lower!
Consisting of 66% Syrah, 21% Grenache and 13% Mourvedre, the wine was aged in a combination of new, 1-time use and neutral French and American oak for 2 years (24 months). Just a tiny 281 cases were produced.
Owner/winegrower Tom Meadowcroft has spent decades managing some of the top vineyard sites in Napa and Sonoma for big names like Cakebread, Opus One, Stags Leap and more.
Combine those top notch grapes with the experience of winemaker Petar Kirilov (who used to work with Clark Smith and you may recognize from some of our excellent deals on his Kukeri label) and you definitely have a winning combination.
Once again we give it a Perfect 10 (94+ point) Taste Rating.
Of course, a small production wine like this doesn’t come cheap, with a normal price of $52. However for the next day we’re slashing that price by XX%!
Through today’s deal you can get 4 bottles of the 2022 Meadowcroft River Trace GSM for just $XX.95 ($XX.XX/bottle). That’s a SAVINGS of $XX a bottle (XX%).

From the winery:
The 2022 Meadowcroft River Trace GSM — a Rhône-style blend of 66% Grenache, 21% Syrah, and 13% Mourvèdre — offers a richly layered expression of fruit and spice. Aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, toasty oak, allspice, fruit compote, and cherry cordial rise from the glass. On the palate, concentrated flavors of black cherry, fig, and Italian plum unfold with depth, accented by subtle hints of tobacco. A silky mouthfeel leads into a long, satisfying finish, supported by refined tannins and a graceful structure.
SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRINGS: This expressive GSM pairs beautifully with dishes that highlight earthy flavors and bold seasoning. Try it with slow-braised lamb shanks with rosemary and garlic, wild mushroom and sausage pizza, or duck breast with cherry reduction. A rich lentil and smoked paprika stew also complements the wine’s spice and fruitforward character.

And now on to our review:
The 2022 Meadowcroft River Trace GSM (Grenache-Syrah-Mourvedre) opens with a very expressive and inviting aroma loaded with delectable spicy dark fruit plus plenty of licorice, vanilla, cedar, cola, a little coffee and more. It’s a great start.
Taking a sip of the wine reveals it to be smooth, dense and full of flavor with similar characteristics as the nose. We especially enjoy the lovely spice throughout. This vintage also has a wonderful savory streak that we didn’t pick up on in the last vintage. A bit chewy, it is still rather young at this point and has plenty of development ahead, but it’s so darn delicious already it’ll be heard to let these bottles age.
It ends dry, very long and mouth-watering on the satisfying finish. It was just as good and savory on day 2. Fantastic!
Cheers,
Jon

“Another terrific selection from Reverse Wine Snob. Keep up the good work!”
“I’ve bought a ridiculous amount of wine from your deals in the last year…I just want to say that I really appreciate what you guys have done with RWS. I discovered your site looking up Costco wine reviews and have been hooked on your insider deals ever since. I’ve been referring every friend I know.”
“I recently took advantage of your offer. So glad I did, and now sorry I did not buy more (like all those quotes on your website!)”
“I have been buying your Insider Deals for about 3 years now and we have enjoyed every one of them. They are wines that we never would have found on our own… ”
“The only thing I have ever been disappointed in with an Insider Deal is that I didn’t purchase more.”
“Received my shipment today and just cracked open my first tasting. It blew me away…I guess I have another top pick to my list. Can’t wait for my next glass…”
“You can count on great value from the wines offered.”
“the wine is, in a single word, superb! as have been all other wines offered and purchased since I first learnt about you…”
“love them all so far…Glad we ran across you. Too bad we can not order them all.”
“Also your prices are pretty amazing.”
“Hey Jon! You do great work. I’ve bought a bunch of the Insider Deals and probably 80% of the wine I drink comes from them. Great values!”
“The shipping on the Insider Deals is another great part of the deal. We recently paid $27 to a winery in California to ship 6 bottles (same packaging as the insider deals)….yikes!”
“Just got my 6 bottles and having my first glass. WHY, WHY didn’t I buy a case??!!”
“Would you happen to be offering this one again anytime soon? I regret not buying more. This was exceptional!”
“I am seriously considering having the Insider Deals as my primary go-to. Why did I not do this sooner? Thank you”

“Have had nothing but great bottles since I started ordering your recommendations. Thanks so much!”
“We’ve gotten in on three of the deals and have been VERY happy with the value. I originally was going to do a wine club thing but the insider deal appeals to me much more.”
“I really missed the boat by only getting four bottles of this offer last month. Should have bought least at a case.”
“My wife and I have really enjoyed getting to know new wines (and better than we used to buy!) Thanks for what you do and providing this service!”
“Jon – you have to stop offering all of these amazing deals. My self discipline is fading fast!!”
“The wine is outstanding. I am so glad I bought a case.”

“I have loved all my RWS deals, can’t wait to get this one.”
“I know that you don’t need to have ‘customers’ email you every time they like a wine that you have suggested/rated, and I have enjoyed many of your recommendations. But this Tannat was spectacular! Wow! That was amazing!”

I loved this 2022 Meadowcroft River Trace GSM. It was so flavorful and welcome change to our more frequent cabs. I will watch for this to become available again and will snatch some up again for sure.
The wine opened up really well and was delightful
