Native American Rob Campbell has crafted a beautiful range of wines for Meyye wines.

Meyye Wines

September 20, 2024

It is my pleasure to share the latest from Meyye Wines, founded by Rob Campbell who is a member of the Coastal Miwok/Southern Pomo tribe. The really delicious wines have individual birds which are honored on wine labels. I have now tasted several releases of these wines and have found them to show beautiful richness and texture.

Campbell served as Robert Story winemaker for 11 years, and wanted to start his own winery. The wines he made were seriously good, having a beginning, middle and an end. I adored the 2022 Meyye Wines ‘Kuluppis’ Chardonnay (OB, 92) which is loaded with richness from this warm vintage.  Learn more about these at meyyewines.com and here are my reviews of the new Meyye Wines.

2022 Mayye Wines ‘Kuluppis’ Chardonnay- Sourced from the Carneros AVA, the 2022 Chardonnay delivers a beautiful mouthfeel upon entry. This speaks to the heat of the vintage, loaded with melon fruits and vanilla cream flavors, with a lengthy finish. Well-done! Drink 2024-2030- 92

2021 Meyye Wines ‘Omay’ Pinot Noir- The 2021 ‘Omay’ was sourced from the Petaluma Gap AVA and is named after the Brown Pelican in Coast Miwok. This is fresh and also nicely viscous on the mouth, loaded with pomegranate seed and red cherry flavors with hints of salty cola.  Drink 2024-2031- 91

2019 Mayye Wines ‘Sokootok’ Red Wine- The 2019 ‘Soootok’ is a blend of mainly Grenache and Syrah coming  from Amador County. Bright red fruits collide well with blood orange zest, seaweed and suggestions of salty soils. Really delicious and complex, enjoy now and over the next ten years. Drink 2024-2034- 92

2016 Meyye Wines ‘Palachchak’ Zinfandel- This 2016 Zinfandel has a small portion of Syrah blended in. This is silky smooth throughout the drinking experience, loaded with freshness and texture. Ripe red raspberry combines with garrigue, and salty soils with orange rind accents. Delicious now, enjoy over the next eight years. Drink 2024-2032- 92
