DuMOL make some of the best and most sought-after Pinot Noirs from the Russian River Valley and California. Limited.

95 Points James Suckling: "A classic, distinctive and compelling red. So leafy, floral and
tea-like in aromas, then fresh, concentrated and generous on the palate, offering red cherries, sour cherries, black tea, bay leaves and blueberries backed by vibrant acidity and
light tannins. Drink now or hold."

95 Points Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW: "Medium to deep ruby-purple colored, the DuMOL Wester Reach Pinot Noir soars with intense notes of black raspberries, freshly crushed black cherries, and spearmint, leading to hints of violets and charcoal. The medium to full-bodied palate is plush and bright with bags of blackberry flavors and a fine- grained texture, finishing with great length and a refreshing lift."

94 Points Wine Spectator: "Bursts with juicy raspberry, mulberry and bitter cherry coulis flavors that stretch out lengthily, plus savory, red tea and rose petal notes that add energy and range. Shows a snap of red licorice and a singed apple wood frame on the finish while keeping its energy up. Best from 2026 through 2036."

94 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The DuMol 2023 Pinot Noir Wester Reach boasts a bright red hue and opens with a spicy, fresh nose that carries a cool-climate edge. Ripe cranberries, lifted spices, fresh roses, and piney herbs lead the aromatics, and it’s medium-bodied and compact on the palate, with a refreshing line of acidity, fine tannins, and a weightless texture. The finish is long and laced with elegant spice. Drink 2025-2037."

Winemaker Notes: "The aromas are full of vitality: bright, intense, and pure: red and black cherry, and fresh raspberry, with tangy orange zest lift. There’s a sappy, freshly picked character to the wine’s fruit center - wild berries, spiced plum, and underbrushy sweetness. The wine deepens and expands across the palate as its layers unfold then changes course becoming sleek and mineral with a fine line of focused acidity and gravelly tannin. There’s a lovely echo of deep fruit on the finish. This is a wine that you can enjoy on release, but it also offers the potential for a decade of positive aging in bottle."
