LongMeadowRanchNapaValleyE.J.ChurchReserveCabernetSauvignon

This is beautiful and age-worthy wine is a small-batch reserve Napa Cab from grapes grown at 400m pf elevation. Named for E.J. Church, a pioneering settler who acquired what is now the Long Meadow Ranch property via a land-grant from President Ulysses S. Grant in 1872, this Cabernet is full of refreshing mountain fruit acidity, showcasing the best barrels from LMR’s Mountain Estate vineyard blocks. Bing cherry and raspberry are prominent on the nose with fine layers of black currant, cardamom, and dried black tea leaves. Accompanying the acid on the palate are well integrated oak notes and elegant tannins that linger long after finish.
