When top wine writer Jay McInerney was asked
what he was drinking these days he said, "I
like a Shafer Hillside Select or a Harlan Estate or a Long
Meadow Ranch." -
Jay McInerney,

in the SF Chronicle
"“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 Harvest Dates: Varietal Composition: Brix @ Harvest: Cooperage: Alcohol: Production: 2004 Growing Season: LMR

2004 LONG MEADOW RANCH CABERNET SAUVIGNON
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.

Bud break occurred earlier than we could remember and the trend carried
forward throughout the growing season. Heat spikes occurred in June and at
scattered intervals throughout the summer season. Grapes completed veraison
early and ripeness with well developed sugars was also realized early and acid
balance eventually caught up. Temperatures were steady into one of our earliest
harvests ever. Grape quality was very good with a crop that was smaller than
average.
