DuMOL
RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY
“I was blown away by the wines I tasted from DuMOL this year. Two thousand twenty-one is one of the greatest vintages I have tasted here.” —Anotnio Galloni, Vinous Media
(The two thousand twenty-two vintage is looking pretty good too!)
Andy Smith and his team at DuMOL seem to coax the best out of each vintage in the Russian River Valley, producing wines that are classic examples of this world-renowned growing region for Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah. The consistency of high quality has propelled DuMOL into the role of a benchmark producer of Russian River Valley wines.
DuMOL’s Wester Reach Pinot Noir embodies nearly thirty years of expertise, dedication, and commitment to capturing the Russian River Valley’s most striking characteristics.
The winery, founded in 1996, focuses on crafting supremely balanced wines true to their varietal, region, and terroir.
DuMOL’s Wester Reach Pinot Noir intertwines fruit from DuMOL Estate, Hanna, Dutton Ranch, Flax, and Placida Vineyards, highlighting the Russian River Valley’s most defining attributes.
The 2022 release exudes balance and sophistication, powered by vibrant red fruit, subtle earthy nuances, wildflowers, and silky textures that genuinely reflect the region’s hallmarks, leaving your taste buds yearning for another sip.
Tasting Notes: “The 2022 DuMOL Wester Reach Russian River Valley Pinot Noir begins with a bright, rich, sultry nose with powerful ripe cherries, strawberry preserves, crushed rocks, cola bean, shiitake mushrooms, wild white rose petals, and pie spices. The palate is focused, linear, layered, and concentrated with pomegranate, mandarin peel, pie cherries, boysenberries, and nutmeg. While bright and fresh as Pinot Noir should be, it also has a savory character that balances the intense fruit, leading to a long, powerful finish. I can’t wait to drink more…”

Tasting Notes: “A structured and layered white with apple, light honey and acacia aromas and flavors. Medium to full body. Creamy mouthfeel. Phenolic texture that runs through the wine. Flavorful yet subtle finish. Touch of flint and cedar. Drink or hold.”

Tasting Notes: “The 2021 Syrah Wild Mountainside is fabulous. Inky, deep and explosive, the 2021 possesses tremendous concentration from start to finish. Blackberry, chocolate, spice, sage, menthol and gravel all run through this deep, savory Syrah. All the elements come together effortlessly. The 2021 is a blend from Hoppe-Kelly and Limerick Lane.”
