DuMOL Wester Reach Chardonnay 2017

DuMol make some of the best and most sought-after Chardonnays from the Russian River Valley and California. Limited. 95 Points Wine Spectator: "The 2017 Chardonnay Wester Reach was barrel fermented and aged 12 months on the lees in 30% new oak. It has a mineral-driven nose of petrichor, honey, toasted almonds, Golden apple, white peach and notions of nectarine and hay. Light to medium-bodied, it's intensely fruited and packs in the savory layers and expressive honeyed notions, lifted by juicy acidity and finishing long, intense and focused. Lovely!" 93 Points James Suckling: "Impressive complexity and smoothly integrated, lemon and white-peach aromas, giving an air of composed purity. The palate has a swathe of fresh, fleshy peaches and lemons. Nicely cut finish. Really svelte and focused. Drink or hold." Winemaker Notes: The DuMol 2017 Wester Reach Chardonnay Russian River Valley has great lines: focused, driven, mineral-laden and pithy, with a level of cool-climate fruit intensity that is very rare. This level of quality and distinctive character is hard to achieve in a larger-production blended wine, but is a testament to our pedigreed vineyards, precise farming, twenty years’ experience, and patient, sensitive craftsmanship.
