Drew 2009 Valenti Vineyard Pinot Noir (Mendocino Ridge)

Country: US / Valenti Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Drew / Mendocino Ridge

The Mendocino Ridge appellation, which is defined by elevation boundaries, borders Anderson Valley. This Pinot shows cool-climate crispness but also fog-free, ripe flavors of raspberries and cherries that are deep and impressive. With a thick, juvenile mouthfeel, the wine should develop interesting bottle complexities over the next five years.
