Leading off the Pinot Noirs, the 2016 Pinot Noir Wester Reach is one of the releases that only goes out to distribution and isn`t offered on the mailing list. It`s a textbook wine from this estate and is ideal for readers looking to understanding the style of this estate. Wild strawberry, violets, and forest floor aromas and flavors, medium body, light tannin, and a charming, layered, balanced style all make for a brilliant Russian River Pinot Noir to drink over the coming 4-5 years.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
This is quintessential DuMOL Pinot Noir. So redolent of strawberry in its elegant, rich, violet-tinged and balanced style. A blend of Ritchie, providing dark fruit and broad texture, Occidental Road, for weight and extract, Dutton-Upp, for its hillside structure, Widdoes, for its pure cherry fruit and DuMOL Estate for its earth and herbs.
