About This Wine
Meiggs' Pardon
Promissory Red
Meiggs' Pardon is a tribute to California's rich entrepreneurial spirit, drawing inspiration from figures like Henry Meiggs, whose legacy is one of perseverance and redemption. Our 2021 vintage red wine from the North Coast of California embodies a vigorous attitude of tenacity. On the nose is a vibrant tapestry of dark fruits, with plum, blackberry, and blackcurrant seamlessly blending with balsamic and earthy notes reminiscent of a North Coast forest. These juicy, concentrated flavors carry through to the palate, supported by a full body and structured tannins. The wine’s oaky undertones add depth, while a long, juicy finish rewards those who seek out its complex layers. Tasting notes are described as "Purity...concentrated fruit and mixed berries" by the 2025 Press Democrat North Coast Wine ChallengeScroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.
