DuMOL Wester Reach Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2021

There is a fervent following for the fantastic DuMOL wines, and there has been since winemaker and partner Andy Smith started making his superior Sonoma County Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah back in 1999. Formerly, this wine was known as the DuMOL Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. But Andy saw the opportunity to shine a particular spotlight on a few select parcels which paired together in a new way. This led to the debut of “Wester Reach” Pinot Noir, comprising some of the most famous sites in Russian River Valley, vineyards that DuMOL has planted, farmed and harvested over the past twenty years. By selecting fruit from a spectrum of vineyards – from the interior plains of the Russian River Valley stretching west to their more coastal sites – they created a wine that is complete, complex and finely detailed. Foremost, DuMOL builds this blend in the vineyard, understanding how each site contributes signature fruit character, be it the richness and breadth of the valley floor parcels, the taut precision and structure of their ridgeline parcels, or the focus and intensity of the coastal parcels. This beautiful, lilting, dynamic wine is the essence of coastal Russian River Pinot Noir.
