738 Main Street, St Helena, CA 94574 Phone: 707 963 4555 Hours: Daily 11am - 6pm Club/Discounts: 10% - 20% Discount on Wine Tasting Fees: 3 Tastings; $10, $20 and $35 Long Meadow Ranch is a 650 acre ranch on the top of Mayacamas Mountains in Napa. Here they produce grass-fed beef, heirloom vegetables and fruits, virgin olive oils and of course wine. LMR recently opened up a restaurant and tasting room in St Helena so we decided to stop by to check it out. The Farmstead restaurant is a farm to table restaurant beside the tasting room; we did not get a chance to eat there but would like to go back to it. The venue looked nice and casual and you cannot beat the $2 corkage (for charity). The tasting room was average sized. The service was also average - nothing special. We tried the $20 tasting and thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The wines are nice but probably won't be rushing back for the tasting - we will check out the restaurant though |

| 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon ($99) | Rating: C Jun 20th, 2008 |
Best Wine - June, 2008
Wow a great wine, easily the wine of the night. Good chewy tannins, nice balance between fruity opening and tannins. |
| 2003 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($38) | Rating: C Dec 29th, 2007 |
| Lots of flavour, settles down after some time in the glass, but this has great potential and should improve with time. |
| 2005 EJ Church Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve ($85) | Rating: C May 9th, 2010 |
| More structure in the Reserve Cabernet; fuller wine with big tannins. This wine should age well. Nice wine |
| 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon ($50) | Rating: B-C Mar 25th, 2007 |
| Aging well, earthy nose with strong flavour of black currants and cherry. A medium long finish with smooth tannins. |
| 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon ($42) | Rating: B-C May 9th, 2010 |
| Great nose. Not huge body. Very smooth, "silky". Soft Cabernet. |
| 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon ($42) | Rating: B-C May 9th, 2010 |

| 2008 Sauvignon Blanc ($18) | Rating: B-C May 9th, 2010 |
