About The Meeker Vineyard
Located in Geyersville, CA and founded in 1984, The Meeker Vineyard originally specialized in Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay. The winery’s tasting room is currently located inside a Geyersville Bank building that’s over a century old. In 2001, the Wall Street Journal noted it as “one of the most enjoyable wine tasting experiences in all of Napa and Sonoma Counties.”

The Meek Shall Inherit, and the Meeker Even More

TASTING NOTES:
2013 Cab - “Rainier cherries and black currant give way to baking spices and red dirt. Bright acidity, long tannins, and slight wood character marry into an incredibly elegant and broad finish.” (AbV 14.8%, 77.0% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15.3% Syrah, 7.7% Cabernet Franc)

2014 Merlot - “The nose features cherry pie and cola nut with notes of lavender and leather. On the palate this Merlot unfolds with deep structure wrapped around a core of blackberry and red earth giving way to toasted vanilla bean and a long, integrated finish.” (AbV 14.8%, 93.22% Merlot, 5.64% Syrah, 1.14% Cabernet Franc)

2013 Syrah - “Blackberry compote with mint leaves, red dirt, dusty stone, cloves and eucalyptus. A playful and high volume mid-palate slides away with elegant length.” (AbV 14.8%, 100% Syrah)

2015 “The Paddle” - “This reserve blend of Syrah and Petite Sirah brings to life many of the flavors of its hillside vineyard: berries, rhubarbs, and a gentle earthiness. This medium-bodied, round red has notes of light eucalyptus and rich red earth in the summer.” (AbV 14.8%, 77% Petite Sirah, 23% Syrah)
