2004 | Drew Family | Gatekeepers Pinot Noir

The 2004 vintage is a prime example of beautifully crafted wine in a cool vintage. The wine shows the impeccable balance the Drew Family seeks to achieve. The color is saturated and gorgeous. The nose explodes red cherry, blueberry and blackberry fruit. The palate is long and sexy, with silk smooth tannin. Definitely worth tasting!

Producer Information

Drew, also known as Drew Family Wines, is a small family-run winery based in Mendocino, California. The winery site – previously an apple orchard and farm in the Medocino Ridge appellation – was established in 2000 by husband-and-wife team Jason and Molly Drew. The 10 acre (four hectare) home vineyard is planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a selection of local, heritage and Dijon clones. The vineyard also produces a Southern Rhone GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mouvedre) blend. Known predominantly for their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Drew also source fruit from vineyards in the neighbouring Anderson Valley, to the northeast, as well as other Medocino Ridge sites such as the Valenti Ranch, which provides fruit for the winery’s Albarino and Syrah offerings. The home vineyard forms part of the original Faîte De Mer Farm area, which still encompasses 14 acres (5.6 hectares) of apple orchard and a small truffle operation. The whole farm is run organically. Winemaking is kept reasonably hands-off, with whole cluster and native yeast ferments, hand pigage (punchdowns) and often no fining or filtration.
