What we love
Fresh fruit flavors at the core of this elegant, superbly balanced Pinot Noir give it a rare vibrancy and power. Delicious, tangy red and black cherry mingle with light cinnamon and umami accents on a nicely firm palate of fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. A very elegant wine at a very competitive price.

Jason Drew
Owner + Winemaker
Jason and Molly Drew started Drew Family Wines 18 years ago with a clear goal in mind: to craft small lot coastal wines that express site specificity and traditional varietal character.
Drew is now one of the hottest wineries in California with Jason Drew making some of the best wines in Mendocino County. For his sourced fruit, he has long standing partnerships with several local vineyard growers who share his passion for sustainable and meticulous farming practices. Single vineyard sources are chosen for their climate, clonal selection and complexity of soil type. Winemaking practices remain focused on traditional methods that include whole cluster and native yeast fermentations, hand punchdowns and no fining or filtering.
