Long Meadow Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Estate 2018, Napa Valley, California

VINEYARD: Rutherford Estate. VARIETAL: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Maturation: 18 months in 50% new French oak, 50% neutral French oak. Winemaker Tasting Notes: “The Rutherford Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is rich with black cherry, blueberries, currants, and subtle minty spice on the entry. On the palate, hints of cocoa bean and graphite are woven among the well-integrated oak and
round silky tannins that pleasantly linger well after the finish.” – Justin Carr. Long Meadow Ranch: Owned by Ted, Laddie, and Christopher Hall, LMR employs an integrated, organic farming system, using simple, sustainable methods. Each part of the Ranch contributes to the health of the whole. Vineyards and wine making, olive orchards and olive oil making, cattle and horse breeding all work together in complementary fashion, as do the egg-laying poultry flock and the organic vegetable gardens. All crops are certified organic by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) and are grown without the use of herbicides, pesticides, or chemical fertilizers.
