2021 DuMol "Estate" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

“Deep but transparent ruby, the 2021 Pinot Noir DuMOL Estate Vineyard is brooding with pine, pure black cherry, and licorice aromas. Medium to full-bodied, it offers bright acidity, ripe warming spice, and pure fruit, with notes of clove and mossy earth floating underneath. Drink 2025-2045. (AF)” (07/2023)

“The 2021 Pinot Noir DuMOL Estate Vineyard soars out of the glass with breathtaking aromatics. Crushed flowers, mint, spice, blood orange and pomegranate are immediately captivating. The 2021 has it all—striking perfume, deep fruit and structure to burn. This is showing so well, even with its brooding personality very much on display. The Estate is a blend of Swan and Calera selections. (AG)” (02/2024)

“The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard comes from Swan and Calera selection vines planted in 2004, and it is exceptionally expressive and energetic this vintage. It gains aromatic intensity as it airs in the glass, blossoming from red cherry and Italian plum to allspice, Campari, licorice and hibiscus. The medium-bodied palate is chalky and refreshing, its power derived from highly concentrated fruit, and it boasts a flourish of ultra spicy accents across the long finish. (EB)” (12/2023)

“The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard is a blend of Calera and Swan clones with a little 943. Pale to medium ruby purple in color, it rolls effortlessly out of the glass with fragrant notes of wild strawberries, kirsch, and lilacs, followed by hints of dried sage and cracked black pepper with a waft of damp soil. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with red berry and floral flavors, framed by velvety tannins and beautiful freshness, finishing long with a spicy kick. (LPB)” (07/2023)

“A full-bodied pinot noir with lots of fruit and density. It’s chewy and tannic but there’s a hand-crafted polish, too. Muscular and flexed. Ripe strawberry and crushed stone with a decadence and hints of chocolate. Flavorful finish.” (04/2023)

“Offers delicious mulberry and maraschino cherry fruit flavors laced with hints of mulling spices, black tea and singed apple wood, while keeping a fresh and focused feel through the finish. (JM)” (09/2023)
