On the leaner side but showing lots of finesse and elegance. Really began to open up after several hours. Will benefit with more time but the core if acidity really allows for a diverse pairing wine now.

Lighter in body than Morning Dew. Nice acidity. Still very young. Would love to taste in 5 years.

Bright cranberry, fresh acidity. Bit lean right now, but should soften with time. Quite tasty.

Drew knocks it out of the park. Bright California fruited but elegant structure. The weight and balance is incredible.

Soft with good acidity and classic PN fruit. Delicious. Madame LeRoy are you tasting this one?

As always another Drew Pinot that drank well, and that others at the party enjoyed. It was clear, rich and yet retained a nice delicate balance.

This is Drew, Fog-Eater Pinot Noir 2013. The color is darker than the average pinot. The legs are thin and moderately slow. The bouquet is elderberry and lavender. The initial palate is black cherry and spice. There are hints of pepper and vanilla. The finish is dry and lasts a good long while. The finish is beautiful and makes you thirst for another sip!!!! I bet you can't stop at just one glass! I couldn't.
