EJ Church Cabernet Sauvignon
Berry spice with cherry liquorice.
In the glass, the wine shines in a deep, rich ruby red, which transitions to an elegant, slightly violet hue at the rim.
The nose is enveloped by a complex aromatic composition: ripe black cherries and juicy blackberries meet dark plum jam and blackcurrants. Beneath this, a spicy layer of cocoa, black pepper, and green tobacco leaf unfolds. The fine toasted notes of French oak reveal hints of vanilla, cedarwood, and a touch of liquorice. Subtle notes of leather, rosemary, and dried Mediterranean herbs complete the bouquet.
The balanced acidity harmonizes perfectly with the fine-grained, well-integrated tannins. The flavor is dominated by a dense, fruity intensity: black cherries, blackberries, and a hint of cassis merge with mineral notes reminiscent of wet slate. This is accompanied by delicate nuances of dark chocolate, mocha, and a trace of dried figs.
This wine is a masterpiece of winemaking in the Mayacamas Mountains. The careful selection of the best parcels, located at an altitude of over 400 meters, and the precise vinification with gentle extraction and long aging in barriques give this Cabernet Sauvignon impressive complexity and elegance.
A farm with a long meadow in the Mayacamas Mountains is the focal point of Full Circle Farming.
The goal is to produce first-class wines - the by-products are unique and are used in the restaurant and at the weekly market. The entrepreneur and trombonist Ted Hall moved to California with his wife Laddie in the 1970s and immediately became a great wine lover. The dream of having his own vineyard eventually led him to buy a fallow and overgrown piece of land with a characteristic long meadow and a farmhouse: the Long Meadow Ranch.
With a lot of sweat, passion and belief in the success of the Full Circle Farming concept, the land was transformed into well-tended farmland, where son Chris now grows wine, olives and over 500 rare types of vegetables and fruit. An important part of the entire mission is the animal component: Highland cattle and chickens provide fertilizer, meat and eggs. Along with the farm's own bees, they keep the Long Meadow Ranch ecosystem in balance. All of the farm's products are very popular in the farm's own restaurant and at local farmers' markets.
The location, the Napa Valley, plays a crucial role when it comes to wine. Wines from the Napa Valley enjoy an excellent reputation and guarantee the highest quality and uniqueness. With vineyards in Rutherford, in the Mayacamas Mountains and in St. Helena, the vineyards also reflect the rich diversity of the Napa Valley. The exotic vineyards are the vines in the Anderson Valley outside the Napa Valley - Burgundian conditions prevail in northern California - compared to the Mediterranean Napa Valley. The result: an exciting range of attractive Californian premium wines.
