2019 Drew Morning Dew Ranch Anderson Valley Pinot Noir

13.4% alc., $70. Rochioli and faux 828 (La Tȃche) selections. Native yeast, 25% whole cluster fermentation. Aged in 20% new and 80% seasoned French oak barrels. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Dreamy aromas of red cherry and strawberry with a touch of barrel spice and sandalwood. Light to mid-weight in style and elegant in character, with red and blue fruits underlain with perky acidity. The wine finishes better than it enters, ending with length and good cut. Some might find the fruit a bit shallow but I like the gentle nature of the wine. Score: 92. Reviewed July 26, 2021
