Jeb Dunnuck Regional Review on Mendocino Releases

February 24, 2025

“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.

May 14, 2020

"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
