RATINGS

100Vinous / IWC

...drop-dead gorgeous beauty...rush of dark blue/purplish fruit, gravel, spice and menthol builds into the huge, structured finish.

98The Wine Advocate

...deep well of red cherry jam and pomegranate unfold to accents of salted licorice, iodine, bergamot, prosciutto and savory spice...palate explodes with concentrated fruit that segues to floral and earth tones as it sweeps through the mouth. It has a silky, seamless mouthfeel and a finish that goes on and on.

97James Suckling

A superb red with fine yet muscular tannins that are formed and long. Broad shouldered. The wine is powerful yet intense with dark ripe strawberries, orange peel and violets. Some blue fruits, too.

96Jeb Dunnuck

...dark-fruited profile emerges, with black cherry, violets, black tea, and wet stone followed by a full-bodied red with an angular texture and snappy yet refreshingly bitter notes of black tea, ripe red and blue fruit, and turned earth.

94Wine Spectator

This is laden with fruit, as notes of mulberry, plum and boysenberry preserves glide through, enlivened by anise, bramble and savory accents along the way. The finish is nicely harnessed by well-inlaid acidity, while the fruit continues to pump along.

The full DuMOL portfolio is released through allocations to the mailing list, with select wines distributed to top restaurants Robert M.

REGION

United States, California, Sonoma, Sonoma Coast

Sonoma Coast AVA runs from San Pablo Bay in the south to Mendocino County in the north. It includes 7,000 vineyard acres and earned AVA status in 1987. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean means it gets double the rainfall of nearby inland appellations and the ocean gives the appellation a relatively cool climate. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir can thrive in these conditions, and there are numerous producers making critically acclaimed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
