The Winery
DuMol
Founded in 1996, DuMOL is dedicated to crafting highly nuanced, vineyard-focused Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays from distinctive sites in the cool-climate Russian River Valley. Winemaker, Viticulturist and Partner Andy Smith leads a small and experienced team at DuMOL, to craft wines of depth, clarity and elegance through attention to detail in the vineyards and vintage-specific winegrowing. DuMOL believes the best fertilizer is the footsteps of the farmer and is dedicated to a portfolio of estate and grower-partner vineyards primarily within a 10 mile radius. Expanding upon twenty-five years of experience, DuMOL also grows and produces small-lot Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc, and Mencía from some of the finest vineyards in Sonoma and Napa. The full DuMOL portfolio is released through allocations to the mailing list, with select wines distributed to top restaurants worldwide.
Summary
The DuMOL Pinot Noir Bressay Estate Vineyard 2021 hails from the ocean-influenced Sebastopol Hills, showcasing high-density planting on Goldridge sandy loam. This limited-release wine is hand-harvested and undergoes native-yeast fermentation, featuring 40% whole-cluster fermentation and aging in French oak without fining or filtration. It presents a vibrant ruby hue and is marked by an array of flavors including ripe blackberries, cassis, and hints of floral notes like lavender and candied roses. The palate is medium-bodied, characterized by its fine tannins, lively acidity, and a stony texture, culminating in a long, elegant finish. This wine will develop further complexity with age.
