2016 Long Meadow Ranch Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley, Mendocino, California

A deep ruby red color with a combination of dried earth and musky roses with penetrating spice aromas on the nose. Shows a refined and silken texture and remains fresh and lively across the palate with intensity of fruit. Intriguing, balanced, and complex, it is a great picture of the finesse and intensity of Pinot Noir in Anderson Valley.

Wine Enthusiast: Delicious and exotic fruit flavors light up this elegant, concentrated wine. Rhubarb, black-cherry and spiced plum scents are followed by equally generous fruit flavors and deft touches of spicy oak that add nuances of baking spices and black tea.

Wilfred Wong: The 2016 Long Meadow Ranch Anderson Valley Pinot Noir is rewarding and excellent. TASTING NOTES: This wine deftly combines aromas and flavors of red fruit, blackberries, dried earth, and savory spices. Pair it with rosemary and garlic-infused roast leg of lamb.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: The 2016 Pinot Noir Anderson Valley has a pale to medium ruby color and spicy notes of cinnamon, tree bark, dried cranberries, burnt orange peel and woodsmoke with a core of red and black berry fruit. The medium-bodied palate is elegant and nuanced with spicy character and a grainy, fresh frame, continuing to blossom on the long, detailed finish.
James Suckling: A floral pinot with rose water, fresh herbs and cranberries. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh, driven finish.
Zesty and incisive with nuanced, teasing fruit aromas and vibrant, juicy fruit on the palate.
