Located themselves on an apple orchard-turned vineyard just west of the Anderson Valley on the Mendocino Ridge, Jason and Molly Drew craft some of the most transcendent Pinot Noirs in the county. Their Morning Dew Ranch is nothing short of utterly magnificent. Elegant and silky, yet structured, it sings of rose geranium, salt and pepper, lavender, rosemary, and smoked cherry pit. The site's name itself is so evocative, and drinking this wine feels like swallowing the fog.

Bright cran-cherry nose, with an underlying touch of wood smoke and wet earth. Orange peel and spices too. Light to medium bodied coupled with a juicy mid. Finish is long and the light berry fruit continues to repeat. Acid is present but very cohesive with the other components. This is the real shit. Can't wait to try more. Still young and primary outside of the super expensive nose. Better to hold, but I couldn't wait, and it was great in its infancy.

Medium bodied cool climate Pinot. You can almost taste the climate. Structured and well balanced - not one of those pinots that just disappears in your mouth.
