Saint Gregory
Mendocino County Pinot Meunier
Mendocino, North Coast, California, USA
Believe this is the third producer of red still Pinot Meunier, which I have enjoyed. Others being La Rochelle (my first intro to Meunier, from Saralee Vineyard) and Chandon.
Similar yet different character than Noir. Higher acidity, lighter bodied than Noir, and in the direction of strawberry. Nice varietal to seek still. Exciting to discover as sparkling, where differences from Noir are more apparent, IMHO.
Stelvin, High acidity, needs air, better on second day.
