Tomich Woodside Vineyard Pinot Noir Adelaide Hills 2021
VS.
Meiomi Pinot Noir
Tale of the Tape:
This year’s version of the Edmonton Oilers resulted in the most lethal power play in NHL history. Led by Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, the Oilers are a Hi-Octane team looking to accelerated through the playoffs. The L.A. Kings did everything they could to make the playoffs this year including trading their longtime starting goalie (and 2 time Stanley Cup champion) Jonathan Quick. The end of season push for the Kings has been rewarded with a very challenging first round against Edmonton.

From the winery:
The wine owes much of its complexity to its varied upbringing, unifying grapes from California’s most notable wine growing regions. Meiomi Pinot Noir brings you structure and depth seldom seen in a Pinot Noir wine, thanks to its unique and meticulous aging process. Aged for six months in French oak barrels, this California red wine’s juicy strawberry flavor and notes of dark berries and toasted mocha add complexity and depth on the palate.
