Paired with steak. Notes of Raspberry and Vanilla. If you love Meiomi you will love this more. — 9 years ago

From a pure taste perspective, great Pinot if you let it open up. For the price (this was $30) I prefer Meiomi at $18. — 9 years ago

A true entry level benchmark of a Californian Pinot Noir done in the Burgundian style.
Clear, bright, and light in Garnet exhibiting delicate aromas of red currant, lightly composted leaves, jasmine, and cinnamon.
The wine finishes dry with an ample spice, fruit, and mocha finish.
If you are looking for Meiomi or the ilk, this is NOT your wine. — 10 years ago

Ruby to garnet, ripe cherries and raspberries on the nose with just a hint of spice. This is a really great Pinot for the price with really fresh red cherries and really fruity in the mouth. Similar to the Caymus Meiomi at half the price. Buy some. — 10 years ago

I've really begun to trust Trader Joe's recommendations in wines. This little gem is delicious right out of the bottle. At half the cost of a MEIOMI or a LA CREMA. Great choice. — 9 years ago

Lots of Berry, vanilla, cherry- dried perhaps. Nice drinking wine. First grenache I've had. Not being a red officionado, I truly like this. Better than Meiomi. — 9 years ago

This one surprised me. Enjoyed very much. Been a while, I think it is lighter than meiomi — 10 years ago

Ear to ear. Smile. Shout. This richness and suavete fares well among its peers: vina ardanza, maysara, gros nore and meiomi. Thanks of a lifetime to all those obsessive wine-makers. — 10 years ago

Lighter bodied than meiomi, lighter flavors: strawberry/blackberry. Very easy to drink, great room temp but probably very good slightly chilled as well. — 9 years ago

One of the best Pinot Noirs I've had. Strong cherry flavors, bolder than most Pinots... — 9 years ago

Today another pinot the 2013 Elouan Pinot Noir. This wine is bottled in St. Helena, CA but I believe the grapes are sourced from Oregon. This is brought to you by the Wagner Family and along the lines of the Meiomi Pinot and in drinking it you can see the similarities in the two. The nose is weak but can still make out cherry, raspberry and a dusty soil. The palate shows me tart cherries, rasperry, sassafras, milk chocolate, creamy caramel and a floral note. There is a good medium fresh acidity, smooth tannins and a good long finish. I do like this wine and I purchased for $23.99. — 10 years ago

Unbelievable. Velvet like a fine cab. Then light red fruit to a 8 of 10 finish. Very similar to a meiomi but 3 times as flavorful. Raspberry fruits — 10 years ago
