DuMOL
Russian River Valley Syrah 2016
The wife and I did a fun Syrah blind tasting with the coravin. We ranked the wines exactly the same. I feel like a Modus Operandi fanboy, but their wines really do perform well in these blind tastings. #1 Modus Operandi 2018 Caldwell Vineyard Syrah #2 Dumol 2016 Wild Mountainside Russian River Valley Syrah # 3 Kimsey 2017 Syrah. The MO and DuMol were much better than the Kimsey. I was really disappointed in the Kimsey. It just wasn’t there. Since DuMol is tagged here, the nose had dark fruits and a bit of funk. Flavors were nice, and the finish lingered a bit, but not as long as I would have liked. Score is for the DuMol. — 8 days ago

Illahe Tasting #2
They make one barrel of this every vintage. That is a 10,000 Liter barrel. Which equates to approximately 1100 cases.
Smooth. But afterwards it’s very uninteresting. I think you need to pair with a spicy dish. But I’m afraid to bring that up to Jeffrey. But I did. And I got the look. And an ‘eh’. — 2 months ago

White Burgundy. More butter than oak but not offensive. It’s a winter white for Adria and me. — 4 days ago
