In the late 1800’s, the majestic Long Meadow Ranch property thrived with vineyards, apple orchards, olive groves, hay and a goat milk dairy until farming fell dormant during Prohibition. Over the following years, the property became swallowed by the encroaching forest until the Halls bought the property in 1989. The Hall family carefully breathed life back into the land, nurturing it back to its glory, and then some, by cutting back the abandoned olive trees and replanting the vineyards and apple orchards as you see them growing today.
There are over 150 acres of Long Meadow Ranch vineyards planted in Napa and Anderson Valley that are farmed organically. The Hall family and Long Meadow Ranch artisans work together on the various properties that make up Long Meadow Ranch focusing on agriculture, wine, food and service.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, earth tones, cherry, and a scent of violet. On the palate, those aromas are echoed with some added mineriality and more notes of earth and fresh herbs. Pair with grilled salmon, duck breast, or pork dishes.
Method
Made from 100% Pinot Noir, the grapes come from vineyards in Anderson Valley, located in Mendocino County just above Sonoma County- one of California’s coolest viticultural areas. The wine ages for 11 months in oak (25% new French oak, 75% neutral French oak) prior to bottling and release.

Wow – a beautifully balanced wine that lives up to its reputation. Breathe it in, close your eyes and enjoy a long tasting experience. You can taste the care that goes into this wine. Respectful of what Pinot Noir does best … and great value! I’m going back for more.
