Constellation officials say that Meiomi pinot noir is ranked number one in dollar sales growth across all types of prices for that wine in a recent 12-week period.

Meiomi wine is created from a blend of California's pinot noir coast regions, Sonoma, Monterey and Santa Barbara Counties..

Joe Wagner, a fifth-generation California winemaker will remain a winemaker consultant with Constellation for the next two vintages.
