Meiggs' Pardon
Mendocino County, California
Taste a complex, award-winning wine fit for a complex man
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Meiggs' Pardon
Promissory Red
Henry Meiggs was an early entrepreneur in California, helping to develop the lumber and railroad industries before he overextended his assets and skipped town. Eventually, he made good, but it was a long and twisting road to a pardon for his debts. Like Meiggs this Syrah is complex. Filled with robust notes of plum and blackberry that play off of ripe acidity and beautiful tertiary notes, this is a wine that’s hard to put down. The only thing that can make it better is to pair it with rich foods as they come off the grill. It recently took home a Bronze medal from the 2018 International Women's Wine Competition!
Due to state registrations, we cannot ship this wine to CT.ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE REGION:
Mendocino County
One of the unsung regions of the North Coast, Mendocino County enjoys some of California's finest cool-climate terroirs. Lying north of Sonoma, it is home to 12 separate AVAs, spread through sleepy valleys and long, rugged coastlines—much of which exudes a rustic, laid-back feel. Mendocino delights fans of top-quality Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and sparkling wine, but there is also plenty of fine Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Syrah made in its warmer sites too. Mendocino is also famous for its high number of organic-certified vineyards, reflecting the general "off-grid" hippie nature of its winemaking pioneers.

TASTING NOTES:
Plum
Forest Floor
Blackberry
The greatest thing about this wine is how complex it is. It unfolds as you drink through it, especially when paired with food. The dark fruit flavors mix with earth and minerals, with a very slight herbaceous kick at the end. Try this wine over a leisurely meal to watch it evolve.
