  Disappointing given the producer and the age. A musty nose (no, not corked, just old seeming). The fruit is a bit sour and musty although some decent cherry fruit seems to have been there. Decent acidity, no finish to speak of. Not flawed, just way over the hill. I've not encountered this with Drew Pinots before, hopefully just a bad bottle.

  A couple years since our last bottle. Seemed to pick up weight over that time (the wine was thinking the same thing about me unfortunately). Was ok, didn't love, or even finish, the bottle. I've soured on the Drew's just a bit... will drink but no longer seeking out.

  Spices, sour cherry, and raspberry on the nose. Medium-high tannins with red fruit notes on the palate. Medium-long finish. Great wine, but still very young. Hold. I wish I had more.

  Lots of spice and a bit reductive, brighter tonned cherry fruit with some stems. Funky barnyard stuff.

  Very nice wine. Needs a decant, so give it a solid hour or two.
