Excellent effort from Jason Drew as his quality, consistency and craftsmanship continue to shine through. This wine offers red berries with some black fruit as well. Mouthfilling and rich on the palate the quality and purity of the fruit shines through. Extremely well balanced and integrated this has longer term potential, unfortunately so good I could not keep my hands off it. Great effort!

Similar to our note in November, except I will add: unusually, we liked it better on night one. On nights two and three, it became bigger and a bit more extracted.

Jason Drew makes such consistent and quality Pinot Noirs that I have tended to almost take them for granted. This bottle reminded me why I have been a long time member on his list. Very nice nose with invitation to red berries and blue fruit. The wine is very approachable on the palate with medium body and great balance. Cherry fruit predominates and is balanced with a nice oak application. Great silky mouthfeel. Touch of minerality as well.

Somewhat earthy, and that's the best part. A bit dark and big for us. It's far from a jam monster, but still we'd appreciate more acid backbone.

Really good, but not phenomenal. A little hot/out of balance.
