Winey’s number

Is Meiomi Pinot Noir worth it?

What is it worth?

$22 to me

What should I pay?

  • $18.99? Buy it. I’d have paid twenty-two.
  • $22? That’s about right. I had it at twenty-two.
  • $27? Walk. It’s a twenty-two-dollar wine wearing a twenty-seven-dollar tag.

What does it taste like?

Ripe cherry and vanilla, soft all the way through, with a sweet finish that lands closer to dessert than dinner. If that’s what you like, buy it without apology; if you want a pinot with edges, look one shelf up.
