2024 Drew Mendocino County Pinot Noir

Jason Drew sources this cuvée from organically farmed vineyards hugging Mendocino’s fog-kissed ridges, 900–1,400 feet above the Pacific.
Morning harvest preserves purity; whole berries ferment with native yeasts in small open-top vats, capturing fragrant lift and silky tannin.
The wine ages ten months in seasoned French barrels—only 10 % new—polishing texture while letting place speak.
Bright wild cherry, crushed raspberry, and rose petal race across a spine of coastal herb, white pepper, and iron-rich soil.
Brisk acidity and feathery structure keep every sip vibrant, bone-dry, and food-versatile.
Enjoy lightly chilled today for vivid fruit or cellar three to five years to unveil deeper savory layers.

Nose: Red cherry, fresh strawberry, and dried rose over hints of pine needle and cool wet slate.

Palate: Juicy cranberry and raspberry glide on silky tannins, sparked by white pepper, bay leaf, and subtle orange zest.

Finish: Long, mouth-watering close echoes tart berry, herbal spice, and a clean, rocky snap.

Perfect with cedar-plank salmon, roast chicken stuffed with wild mushrooms, or a soft-ripened goat cheese drizzled in honey—its bright fruit and mineral lift refresh every bite.
