The vineyards along Coastal California are a perfect combination of earth and elements, chosen specifically to contribute to each Meiomi wine and to represent the best of their appellation. By combining their exemplary qualities into a single wine, Meiomi achieves unforgettable balance, complexity, and richness of flavor. This approach of complementary blending achieves wines that are easy to love and hard to forget. Diverse microclimates make Sonoma unparalleled among the world's premium wine-growing regions. Rocky soils, resulting from ancient volcanic activity, stress the vines, resulting in smaller berries of intense flavor. Warm temperatures draw cooler ocean air and fog inland from Monterey Bay, keeping the grapes cool during the heat of the day, resulting in long, even ripening of the fruit. The mountain valleys of the Santa Barbara region are ideally oriented to channel sea breezes and fog inland from the Pacific, allowing the grapes to fully develop flavors, acids, and tannins across their extended 'hang time.'
