2019 Long Meadow Ranch Pinot Noir Anderson Valley

Winemaker Notes:  Bright and deep ruby in color, this wine opens up with a powerful nose full of red fruit accented with violet. Medium to full-bodied, it shows complex notes of spices, wild berries, orange rind, and plums. With structured tannins and a tangy acidity creating a long, mouthwatering finish, it’s reminiscent of some Vosne Romanee Premier Crus. Will age for over a decade and also deliver right off the bat.

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.
