From Long Meadow Ranch in California's Napa Valley, the Farmstead Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is a refined 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot blend sourced from estate vineyards across the Mayacamas Estate, including mountain and valley sites on varied alluvial and clay-loam soils that capture Napa's signature vibrancy and depth. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2020 vintage—marked by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet fresh fruit—undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 16 months' aging in neutral French oak barrels to enhance structure and purity without overt wood influence. Committed to full-circle organic farming since 2011, this production yields a crimson wine with remarkable approachability and finesse.
Tasting Notes A bright and fruity Napa Cabernet with spearmint, spice, and bay leaf aromas, offering medium body, very fine tannins, and a crisp balance of juicy black cherry and boysenberry. The nose dances with Bing cherry, boysenberry, black currants, and savory herbs. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and harmonious, with vibrant acidity, lush tannins, and flavors of vanilla bean, sweet fennel seed, and cedar, leading to a long, delicious finish.
Awards and Accolades 93 Points - James Suckling "Aromas of fresh herbs and flower petals with some currants and mint. Medium-bodied with bright fruit and fine tannins. Fresh and crisp. Well done for the vintage. Why wait? Drink now."
