This week, we tried out the Meiomi Pinot Noir. If you have paid any attention while out and about at restaurants and grocery stores, you have most certainly ran across this wine. If you own a wine store, to not have this wine available right now would not make sense. America is buying it. But, is it worth the price?
For my particular palette, Pinot Noir is the toughest wine for me to enjoy. I am very finicky when it comes to Pinot's and for good reason - I believe there are many bad ones out there. It is well-known to be the most difficult grape to grow and harvest and it is, therefore, very tough to do well.
Wine Momma Wine Review
Wine: 2012 Meiomi Pinot Noir
Price: Between $22 - $30 per bottle
Smell: Leather, sweat, cough syrup
Taste: New World grape, smooth, bitter, medicinal, synthetic, a bit of spice
Color: Bright and ruby red
Outcome: A big fat FOUR (see scale on right side of the page) and almost nearly a five, but it was saved by its nice, smooth feel and a tad bit of fruit that can be considered palatable. For me, it mostly tasted like cough medicine.
I have not and never have been a fan of this wine. I am not sure why this rage of interest and love for the wine has happened, but, for me, the price is way too high for the return I receive. I thoroughly enjoyed the company this week much more than the wine.
Cheers!
