Distinctly expressive of the Long Meadow Ranch style, the 2019 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon greets you with a lively bouquet of Bing cherry, boysenberry, and black currants, underscored by savory herb accents. On the palate, the wine offers vibrant acidity and lush, well integrated tannins that support nuanced layers of vanilla bean, sweet fennel seed, and cedar. The result is a youthful yet balanced wine that is both immediately approachable and well suited for aging, making it delightfully versatile in the years ahead. Cultivated under conditions marked by a wet winter that carried into spring followed by mild summer days and cool nights, the 2019 vintage achieved an ideal equilibrium of sugar and acidity, with full phenolic ripeness that reflects meticulous vineyard stewardship. Recommended pairings include rich fare such as grass fed beef, braised lamb shanks, or roasted game, perfect complements to its structure, fruit depth, and savory complexity.
