Drew
Jason Drew has been making wine since 1991 when he helped out his uncle plant a vineyard in the Napa Valley. He received his winemaking training in both California and Australia. In 2000 he founded the Drew label with his wife Molly while he was associate winemaker at Babcock Vineyards & Winery in the Santa Rita hills. In 2003, he left Babcock to concentrate on his own label, and in 2004, purchased a ridge top property overlooking the Anderson Valley to the east and the Pacific ocean three miles to the west. A winery was built on the property and the Drews’ first estate vineyard was planted. Currently the winery’s Pinot Noir grapes are sourced from Santa Barbara County (Cargasacchi-Jalama Vineyard), Anderson Valley (Fog Eater), Sonoma Coast (McDougall Ranch Vineyard and the Yorkville Highlands (Weir Vineyard). I really like Jason's style and his last vintage of Fog Eater was one of my North American All-Americans. The wines are sold on the website and thru retail channels. I recommend joining the mailing list to insure you can receive the wines. A star in the making.
Articles About DrewReviewed Wines![]() 2006 Drew Cargasacchi-Jalami Vineyard Potbelly Block Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 13.7% alc., 286 cases, $35 · This is a young wine and the nose is quite subdued with subtle notes of red cherry, grass and sanded wood. The lovely red Pinot fruits are accented with herbal and woodsy flavors. Light in body and offering some finesse and lively acidity, this is a good food wine whose flavors trump the aromas at this stage. Reviewed March 17, 2008 ARTICLE »
