Bottle of Long Meadow Ranch Chardonnay with a glass of wine and Thanksgiving turkey

2018 CHARDONNAY

ANDERSON VALLEY

The bright and pale green color is enticing. The scents are intense and exuding floral and white fruit altogether accented with delicate citrus notes. The mineral and floral qualities of the wine are confirmed on the palate with bursts of floral golden fruit and restrained richness. The flavors have excellent definition and the drinker will welcome the return of fresh citrus, jasmine, and this underlying minerality inherent to our Anderson Valley site. Bright, fresh and so precise, it will astonish now but reward for a decade.” – Stéphane Vivier

91 Points, Decanter

“Nose of reductive matchstick with restrained apple and pear. Mineral palate with spiced apple and oak. Vibrant texture and a long savory finish.

90 Points, Wine Enthusiast

“A refreshing expression of Chardonnay with a youthful vivacity from start to finish. Florals lead, with notes of jasmine blossom and honeysuckle, followed by bright, juicy fruits of lemon, lime, white grapefruit, and white nectarine. A hint of flint that just touches the back palate adds a notable complexity.” – S.B.

GROWING SEASON

2018 will be remembered as a colder and slower season in Anderson Valley, producing wines with profound elegance and delicacies. Bud break started about a month later than the last 5 vintages, and at a date recognized as being more in line with the historical averages. A mild spring allowed for a nice crop set and it was followed with a “cold” summer for Northern California standard. It resulted in slow maturing and perfect conditions for Pinot Noir, retaining freshness while developing intricate complexity of flavors.
