Winery Review: Meiomi, meaning "coast" in the Wappo language, represents the wine’s coastal origins, blending grapes from California’s top wine-growing regions. This Pinot Noir is crafted to deliver balance, complexity, and rich flavors, making it a smooth and approachable red wine.

Wine Folly Reference: Pinot Noir typically showcases red fruit flavors like cherry and raspberry, with earthy undertones and soft tannins. Meiomi Pinot Noir is known for its smooth texture, dark fruit notes, and subtle hints of oak, making it an easy-drinking and well-balanced wine.

My Review: Meiomi Pinot Noir is smooth, full-bodied, and fruity, with rich notes of cherry, raspberry, and vanilla. The subtle oak aging adds depth, giving it a silky mouthfeel and a lingering finish. This wine is easy to drink on its own but also pairs well with creamy pasta dishes. It’s a solid, well-rounded Pinot Noir that I’d definitely reach for again.
