"Many of America’s great Pinot Noirs are vineyard- or block designate wines (specifying the source). These allow winemakers to celebrate a particular set of growing conditions that make for a unique wine that stands alone as a snapshot in time- a picture of a vintage and a very particular place. “ Clive Pursehouse North American Editor -

“One of the most highly acclaimed producers in Mendocino County, Drew Wines was started by Jason and Molly Drew in 2000 on a 26-acre apple orchard in the Mendocino Ridge AVA, high above the Anderson Valley and just 3.3 miles from the ocean at 1,250-feet elevation. There they took a chance on growing cool-climate heritage field selections of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, calling the eight-acre estate Faite De Mer Farm” Senior Editor Virginie Boone

This is another fine collection of wines from Jason Drew. I admire these wines for their delineation, energy and translucence, qualities readers will find in spades in the 2023s. The cool, late-ripening year is especially well suited to the house style.

"Jason Drew has been on a roll of late.  His 2018's pick up where his 2017's left off, which is to say they are fabulous.  In tasting, the wines are delicate and highly transparent to site but with plenty of depth as well." Antonio Galloni- Vinous
