Long Meadow Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

In the late 1800s, the majestic Long Meadow Ranch property thrived with vineyards, apple orchards, olive groves, hay and a goat milk dairy until farming fell dormant during Prohibition. Over the following years, the property became swallowed by the encroaching forest until the Halls bought the property in 1989.

The Hall family carefully breathed life back into the land, nurturing it back to its glory, and then some, by cutting back the abandoned olive trees and replanting the vineyards and apple orchards as you see them growing today.

Aromas of dark red fruit, black tea, sweet cedar and black pepper. The entry introduces plush, soft tannins that persist to the finish. Seamless and sweetly extracted, it reveals layers of flavors in the progression on the palate. Made with organically grown grapes.

91 Points – Wine Enthusiast

Earthy dung and compost give this wine a wild edge, followed by additionally savory highlights of leather and tobacco. Made in an elegant, understated style, with balanced ripeness, the fruit is a mix of plum and cassis, finished in cedar and clove.
