Long Meadow Ranch Pinot Noir 2018, Anderson Valley, California

Located in the west or ‘deep end’ of the Anderson Valley in Mendocino County, approximately 2.5 hours north of San Francisco, our Anderson Valley Estate has 69 acres planted to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. With the Navarro River to the southwest and its close proximity to the Pacific Ocean, the Estate has a natural marine layer that blankets the vineyards and creates terroir ideal for our estate-grown Burgundian varietals to mature slowly and ripen to the peak of their varietal character. “The nose is intense and mixing violet, rose and black cherry components. Grace and harmony show on the palate with a mix of gentle spice, violet, rose and red fruit dancing together. The depth and complexity of the wine is obvious and continues with a long and energetic finish. Around a core of mineral notes, it shows balance and freshness, a true picture of the best of what Anderson Valley can provide.”
