Meiomi Bright California Pinot Noir Lower Alcohol Red Wine

What will this Pinot Noir cost? It depends on the store. In our September 2026 checks, one store had it as low as $20.99. Meiomi says it has been making wine since 2006, based in Acampo, California. The brand says it draws its grapes from along the California coast, a claim about Meiomi wines in general rather than this particular bottle.

The average is 5 out of five, from 2 ratings. Category guides describe Pinot Noir as lighter in color than Cabernet Sauvignon, with less tannin. In the same September 2026 checks, the high we saw at another store was $32.99.

Meiomi states the alcohol content for this specific bottling directly: 8 percent by volume, with 90 calories in a 5-ounce pour. The brand groups it under a dedicated 'Lower Alcohol' line alongside a companion Bright Chardonnay, positioning it as an extension of the existing Meiomi line rather than a separate label or vineyard source.

Our call: worth a try for a shopper who wants a true lower-alcohol red from a brand they already know; the producer states the 8 percent alcohol and 90-calorie pour directly, which is more disclosure than most lighter-style reds at the shelf offer. Pass if you're shopping on a confirmed vineyard or sub-region, or on track record; our record ties this bottling only to Meiomi's broad California-coast claim, and its two perfect ratings so far are a start, not a reputation.
