Long Meadow Ranch
E.J. Church Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Hi Saturday night, why not? And why wait? I held this bottle about a year and honestly I probably could 10-ish more and would it be better—maybe? But it’s pretty damn spectacular now. So much cassis (both red and black currant jam plus currant juice), some vanilla, tobacco lite, and an almost menthol freshness oh go onnnn) Long Meadow is a favorite of mine and continues to be so. This has all the markings of classic Cali Cab but it is how they fit together that make it more than fab. I’d take normal fab but now is the time to level up. Why not?

As with all varietals from Long Meadow, incredibly well balanced and fruitful especially for a Cab. Loved this bottle.
