DuMOL Chardonnay Wester Reach 2016  - First Bottle

Reviews

95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
Opening with vibrant grapefruit, lemon grass and yuzu scents, the 2016 Chardonnay Wester Reach delivers compelling nuances of honeysuckle, orange peel, crushed rocks and fresh ginger on the nose with a waft of allspice. Medium-bodied with a tantalizing suggestion of creaminess to the texture, the palate gives energetic citrus and mineral layers with a racy backbone and long, spice-laced finish.
93 Jeb Dunnuck -
Moving to the Chardonnays, the 2016 Chardonnay Wester Reach comes from a site in the Russian River, yet is further west, toward the Sonoma Coast. Medium-bodied, vibrant, and elegant, with juicy acidity and notes of white flower, citrus blossom, tangerine and subtle minerality, it`s an incredibly elegant wine that builds nicely with time in the glass.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
The Russian River Chardonnay is just fall-in-love complex and balanced, built from an other-worldly blend of Ritchie, Lorenzo, Heintz, Dutton and DuMOL Estate vineyards. This is truly the "who's who" of western Russian River Valley vineyard sites. This has gorgeous weight with floral lift and orange zest with perfectly balanced acidity.

For more than two decades, they have planted and farmed their Estate vineyards and many of the California's most renowned vineyards.
