Profile & Story
Long Meadow Ranch's flagship Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, a blend representing the estate's Philo vineyard. Aged 16 months in 30% new French oak with 15% whole-cluster inclusion. Producer's growing-season note (2021 vintage): an extreme, low-yielding drought vintage with mild spring and summer conditions let the fruit ripen slowly, concentrating aroma and flavor while keeping acidity high.
Tasting Notes
“This wine has complex, very stylish, floral, and mineral notes accented by intense red fruit. The entry is elegant, showing earth, spice, and again, red fruit to balance it all. There is adequate acidity, minerality, along with flesh and succulence of fruit on top. The detailed flavors, intricacy, and precision of Long Meadow Ranch are here, opening to a very long and complex finish.” – Stéphane Vivier
Pairing Recommendation
Duck breast with cherry mostarda and grilled salmon with chanterelle mushrooms; also pairs with chicken and andouille sausage jambalaya.
