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!

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.
