Dumol Chardonnay Wester Reach Russian River Valley 2020 750 ML

The 2020 Chardonnay Wester Reach is one of Dumol’s larger cuvées—usually about 3,000 cases are produced—although there will only be 1,000 cases of the 2020 vintage available. Among Dumol’s 2020s, it stands out for its transparency and delicacy rather than the density and concentration of the rest of the portfolio. It offers delicate scents of fresh apples and quince, toast, pie crust, spring blossoms and a stony undercurrent. The medium-bodied palate is bright, spicy and energetic, with a gently oily texture that drives the long, mineral finish.n Producer Informationn DuMOL is an acclaimed and sought-after small producer based in Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley in California. It makes a selection of site-expressive wines from the Russian River and Sonoma Coast predominantly from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

There are currently six estate vineyards, and over two decades DuMOL has developed strong relations with some of the state’s top growers to source or farm fruit on contract from over 20 further sites.Most of the wines are single-vineyard bottlings. These are released via allocations to DuMOL’s consumer mailing list and to select restaurants around the world.
