Great new wines by Meyye and winemaker Rob Campbell.

Meyye Wines

August 22, 2023

A winery that honors Native American traditions, Meyye Wines was founded by Rob Campbell who is a member of the Coastal Miwok/Southern Pomo tribe. “I may be the only Native American winemaker who also owns his own label” Campbell noted. Each wine has different birds that are honored. “I’m intentionally using the Coast Miwok language since the language was considered ‘officially dead’ in the past” he said.

After serving as winemaker for Robert Story for 11 years, Campbell wanted to start his own winery. The wines he made were seriously good, having a beginning, middle and an end. I adored the 2020 Meyye Wines ‘Kuluppis’ Chardonnay (OB, 92) which shows off this special site and offers beautiful balance and texture. Learn more about these at meyyewines.com and here are my reviews of the new Meyye Wines.

2020 Mayye Wines ‘Kuluppis’ Chardonnay- Coming from the Sangiacomo Vineyards, this 2020 Chardonnay offers a smooth texture with beautiful weight and poise, with bright pear and brioche tones on the palate. Drink 2023-2031- 92

2019 Meyye Wines ‘Omay’ Pinot Noir- The 2019 ‘Omay’ was sourced from the Petaluma Gap AVA. Showing a soft mouthfeel, this reveals bright cranberry, citrus rind and freshly tilled soil flavors. Medium-bodied, this has good poise and is ready to go right now. Drink 2023-2029- 91

2018 Mayye Wines ‘Sokootok’ Red Wine- The 2018 ‘Soootok’ combines Grenache (50%) with smaller parts Syrah, Petit Sirah, Counoise and Zinfandel all from the Amador County. Juicy, with bright acidity, this offers pomegranate seed flavors alongside salty soils, tobacco leaf and shades of Mandarin orange zest on the palate. Medium-bodied, enjoy now. Drink 2023-2029- 91

2015 Meyye Wines ‘Palachchak’ Zinfandel- This excellent 2015 Zinfandel has 5% Syrah blended in. It comes off round and smooth on the palate, with loads of mouth-watering acidity. Ripe red fruits combine with shades of kumquat zest and loamy soils on the palate. Enjoy now. Drink 2023-2029- 91
