DuMOL Wines

We continue our exploration of Russian River Valley Pinot Noirs at DuMOL. Their cellar and production facility are located an office park in Windsor, CA (right next to Encore Events where we picked out the rentals for our wedding in Healdsburg almost a decade ago!). Tastings are $90pp and ours lasted about an hour and a half including a tour of the facility. Their website is HORRIBLY designed so I’ll make it easy: https://dumol.com/connect/#tastings Because their wine is much better than their UI.

We tasted five wines: two Chardonnays , two Pinot Noirs, and a Cabernet Sauvignon. We preferred the two Bressay Estate Vineyard wines, which we think can age for 3-5 years. The Chardonnay was NOT your usual butter bomb; it was full on baking spices with notes of vanilla, ginger, number, and cinnamon. The Pinot Noir on the other hand had lots of red fruit and herby notes of tarragon and fresh parsley. We didn’t pick up any of the 2016 Motecillo Cab but found it had a lovely soft mouthfeel and chocolate notes.

We’re excited to return in the spring when they release their Dutton -Jentoft which we’ve been told has notes of cedar and pine!
