In the tranquil embrace of the Mendocino Ridge, just three miles from the Pacific Ocean, lies Faîte De Mer Farm, home to the exceptional Drew Pinot Noir Radiolaria 2021. Crafted by the talented winemaker John Drew, this wine is a testament to the cool coastal influence and unique terroir of the region.
In the glass, it unveils a captivating ruby hue, reminiscent of vibrant pomegranate and bing cherry. The nose is an intricate tapestry of aromas, with bright red fruits dancing alongside savory forest notes and mineral undertones. Wild flowers, fir tips, and savory mushrooms add depth and complexity.
Upon the palate, the wine begins with the lively burst of red fruits, a medley of pomegranate and cherry. But as it unfolds, it takes on a savory character, with hints of black chanterelles and the earthy essence of wet stones. This Pinot Noir is a true expression of its terroir, driven by the coastal influences that shape it.
The Mendocino Ridge appellation, with Faîte De Mer Farm’s elevation of 1200-1250 feet and its Zeni and Yellowhound soils, contributes to the wine’s distinctive character. Certified organic and regenerative farming practices, native yeast fermentation, and gravity racking all play a role in its creation.

This wine, born from the heart of Mendocino Ridge, is a testament to the mastery of winemaker John Drew and the captivating coastal terroir that defines it.
