Meiomi
Monterey County Pinot Noir
Monterey County, Central Coast, California, USA
Garnet with thin translucent pale pink rim. Medium, complex nose of strawberry, raspberry, cherry, marshmallow, vanilla, baking spice and cedar/mint. Light to medium body of cranberry, pomegranate and sour cherry bring clean acid to the palate with a baking spice, cinnamon, leather, and earth background. Small smooth tannins leads to a slightly dry finish of berry, pepper and cocoa. Very good balance and good structure make this a good value at $21.32 USD as a sipper or light dish partner.

Raspberry, sour cherry, pomegranate at first. Some nice tobacco and earth. Passable for such a young wine, I guess, once it had some air. Has little tannic structure.

This is the Pinot Noir I compare all others to! You instantly get that berry flavor (bright strawberry for me) with a full rich texture (more like a cab) and a hint of spice that keeps it light. It's complex and I love everything about it!

Meiomi means "coast" in the language of the native, coastal dwelling Wappo and Yuki tribes. Sweet fruit aromas with floral scents. On the palate raspberry and strawberry flavors, almost jammy, lightly toasted vanilla oak notes with a touch of black pepper. Generous acidity with fine tannins, good balance on medium finish. Good value, drink now. Tasting Sample.

Had too many big wines to give this a really fair shot. Anyways, nice fruit forward Pinot. A lot more body than most Pinots.

Solid. Wish it had a little more wood but definitely a delicious Pinot representing several key CA regions.
