Long Meadow Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon is renowned for its elegant and balanced style. Our Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect complement to food — especially with grass-fed Highland beef, lamb, or roasted game.
“The wine has a beautiful, complex briary nose with aromas of blackberry, fresh thyme, tart cherry and leather. Its intense perfume keeps drawing you back to the glass by the nose. Imagine it paired with crisp skin of squab, wild and jasime rice with dried cranberries and toasted almonds, winter baby roots, squab-cabernet jus.”
—Vincent Nattress, Executive Chef, Meadowood Napa Valley
"This Cabernet is deep and rich with dark cherry flavors and hints of tobacco and dark chocolate. Wonderful when paired with braised beef shoulder from Long Meadow Ranch."
—Todd Humphries, Chef & Co-Owner, Martini House

Tasting Notes
An exceptional Cabernet; a depth of earth, spice, and fruit layered with natural flavors creates a wine that is particularly harmonious and compelling. The nose exemplifies notes of black currant, cassis, black cherry, cedar, anise, and smoky black tea. The well-balanced earthiness of the wine reflects the natural LMR terroir, full of forest floor, peat, and dried herbs. Already beginning to mellow, the soft, silky tannins are luscious on your palate. Although smooth and well-balanced in its youth, this wine shows complexity that will allow it to age for many years to come. - Ashley Heisey
