Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Meiomi means "coast" in the language of the native, coastal dwelling Wappo and Yuki tribes. Ruby color with aromas of jammy red fruits and oak with floral notes, from a number of sites in CA, aged in French oak barrels for six months. On the palate flavors of raspberry and strawberry flavors with lightly toasted vanilla oak notes, cacao and black pepper. Vivid acidity, fine tannins, good balance on medium finish ending with earthy character. Good value, drink now.

Honestly, I hate bears.

Abundance of fruit. Too sweet for me. Otherwise, it’s very easy drinking.

By far the sweetest pinot noir I’ve ever had. Full of bright juicy fruit. Could have easily mistaken it for a fruity cab

I‘m struggling to equate this with a Pinot noir. It’s like a soft cheap Zinfandel. Dense, smooth, very sweet, jammy, fruity, flabby. Red wine for people “who don’t normally like wine…”

It is too concentrated and too spicy, lack the delicacy of classic pinot noir.

Just a sweet red. Tasted like grape juice, no distinctive notes. Probably good for drinking on a patio during a warm summer
