Profile & Story
Long Meadow Ranch is a family-owned, certified-organic and Biodynamic estate farming Mountain, Rutherford, and Anderson Valley vineyards in Napa and Mendocino Counties. The Blanc de Noirs is an estate sparkling wine from the Anderson Valley Estate, made from Pinot Noir. Producer's growing-season note (2020 vintage): the season began as one of the wettest on record, with the last storm arriving in spring; a fast-moving Anderson Valley growing season followed by a mild summer and early September let the fruit reach full, complex maturity.
Tasting Notes
“Light green color. The mousse is extremely fine and lasting. The nose is delicate and shows finesse and elegance, marrying strawberry and cherry with ripe citrus, accented by a touch of just-baked brioche. The palate is vivacious, intense, and beautifully balanced between light red fruit flavors, just-ripe orchard fruit, delicate toasted bread, and a long-lasting almondy finish.” – Stéphane Vivier (note: producer's tasting note is published for the 2020 vintage; this list's printed vintage is 2019, same wine/label.)
Pairing Recommendation
Oysters, smoked salmon, and pasta carbonara; also pairs with fall chicories, Pt. Reyes blue cheese, apples, pears and almonds.
