Long Meadow Ranch 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $42
An extraordinary Cabernet that stands out even in this great vintage, and among its Rutherford peers. Quite dry and tannic in youth, it shows an astringency that strongly suggests the cellar. Underneath are powerhouse flavors of blackberries, black and red cherries, spices, tea and cedar. Really defines balance and elegance in a Napa Cabernet. Decant if you drink…

Long Meadow Ranch 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $45
A terrific Cabernet, so balanced and elegant it’s classic Napa Valley. Rich in blackberries, black currants, herbs and cedar, with a perfect touch of smoky oak, and so smooth and complex, you keep returning for a second and third glass. Long Meadow Ranch is a winery that consistently overdelivers.

Long Meadow Ranch 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $59
An unmitigated success for a debut wine, which isn’t a surprise considering that Cathy Corison is winemaker. Lots of rich, warm fruit, with notes of pepper, licorice, cassis and eucalyptus. Plummy and weighty, but really smooth, almost silky. Nothing aggressive or the least bit displeasing about this A-grade Napa beauty.

Long Meadow Ranch 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $60
Dark, heady and tannic—that pretty much describes this latest release from winemaker Cathy Corison. It’s also very French-oaky, packed with smoke and vanilla. In other words, a young wine meant for aging. Seems to have the balance and richness to improve through 2009.

Long Meadow Ranch 2009 Sauvignon Blanc (Rutherford)
- Editors' Choice
- $18
A beautiful and compelling Sauvignon Blanc that gives the acidity and citrusy brightness you want in the variety, but contains extra layers of complexity. Offers waves of fresh green grass, Meyer lemon, sweet lime and mineral flavors that don’t appear to have any oak. Brilliant with crab cakes, toasted sourdough bread with goat cheese, or on its own as a cocktail sipper.

Long Meadow Ranch 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $50
Made by Cathy Corison, this wine is now in its second vintage, where it shows black-cherry fruit touched up by leather and spice. A big wine needing some time to come together; it is stylish for sure, with a vivid, exciting finish.

Long Meadow Ranch 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Rutherford)
- Editors' Choice
- $19
There’s no oak on this wine, which lets the fruit star. It does a bravura performance, with turns of pineapples, limes, gooseberries and tart mandarin oranges that finish in a swirl of spices. Acidity adds a brilliant zestiness, and even though the alcohol is only 12.9% by volume, the wine is thoroughly dry.

Long Meadow Ranch 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $55
A very fine wine that showcases Napa’s rich, ripe tannins and perfectly ripened cassis fruit flavors. Oak, of course, brings vanilla, smoke and additional sweetness. Not for the long haul, so best now for a few years.
