Given the quality level that is expected from each of Macauley’s clients, it’s really more like farming 204 small vineyards than a single large one. Stagecoach is Cabernet Sauvignon-focused, with over half of the vines planted to 22 Cabernet clones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJust look at the grapes themselves. Stagecoach consistently produces an amazing color to its fruit – largely due to the elevation above the fog layer, which exposes the vineyard to increased sunlight throughout the year. As a result, the fruit is dominated by classic “mountainside” characteristics, with big tannins and extremely complex flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meadowcroft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461626872032,"sku":"129434","price":229.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/macauley-stagecoach-cabernet-sauvignon_1.jpg?v=1749156552","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/macauley-stagecoach-cabernet-sauvignon-2021-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
