Meola
Meola produces Cabernet Sauvignon in Alexander Valley, a Sonoma County region known for structured reds with ripe fruit and mineral tension. The winery's portfolio centers on two expressions of the varietal: Venezia Cabernet Sauvignon and Venezia Réserve Cabernet Sauvignon, both drawing from the valley's warm days and cooling Pacific influence. Wine Enthusiast has rated these releases, with the standard Venezia showing particular strength among prestige critics. Alexander Valley's gravelly soils and diurnal temperature swings suit Cabernet's phenolic ripeness while preserving acidity—a balance evident in Meola's approach to the varietal.
