Long Meadow Ranch, Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley, Mendocino County, California, USA 2016

Long Meadow Ranch has three estates in Mayacamas, Rutherford and this cool, Pacific-influenced one in Anderson Valley which has 28ha planted to Burgundian varieties. This Pinot is silky and raspberry-rich with well-integrated oak, lively acidity and firm tannins. Dried cherry and floral aromas precede a liquorous, rich, ripe palate of good depth and balance, with lots of exotic spice intrigue.
