COMMENTARY: The numbers don't lie, the Meiomi Pinot Noir is one of the most popular wines in the marketplace at the $20 price point. The 2016 vintage is classic Meiomi. TASTING NOTES: This wine is resplendent in it is fruitiness and smooth on the palate. Its aromas and flavors of candied boysenberries, violets, and other black fruits make it a perfect pairing partner with barbecued chicken. (Tasted: September 28, 2018, San Francisco, CA)

The name Meiomi (pronounced may-OH-mee) means "coast" in the language of the native, coastal dwelling Wappo and Yuki tribes, and best pays tribute to and symbolizes the origin of this Pinot Noir. Meiomi is a high style Pinot Noir that is shaped, more than anything else, by the fruit sources that lay the foundation of the blend. A pure bred enjoyment wine, built to accommodate any pairing from food to friends. Unifying California’s most noteworthy coastal areas opens the door for a dynamic and opulent wine that is ready to enjoy whenever you are.
All of Meiomi's vineyards can be found in California’s sought-after, cool-climate coastal appellations of Sonoma, Monterey, and Santa Barbara counties, which have proven ideal for producing world-class Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Rosé. By blending fruit from these three regions together, they create richly layered wines of bold character and exceptional balance, every vintage. These wines are always rich and ripe, yet elegantly expressive, with depth and complexity
