Aligned with Vinous on this. Not quite as nuanced and textured as the Hudson SV’s, more delicate, but still impressive. See prior notes for more details.

Sep 29th, 2024Well presented nose of lanolin, beeswax and guava. Palate is quite dense and viscous. Moderate acidity leads into a delicately sweet, long finish. Understated, yet complete and integrated. Drink now or hold for a few years…
In terms of the bottle price, this wine is excellent.

Great Pinot, out of a magnum, has wonderful flavor of plums with slight smoke. And taste of spice.

Apr 6th, 2022Nearly perfect texture and taste…. Sometimes youth has its advantages. Although not usually in wine but, in this case, absolutely stunning.

The last vintage from Ritchie Vineyard and undergoing a replanting initiative. Medium lemon with aromas of ripe stone fruits, citrus, floral and nutty tones. On the palate flavors ripe apple, apricot and pear with honeysuckle, toasted almond and sweet spice. Nice balance with acidity, long finish ending with fruit, floral spice and mineral character. Very Nice!

Jun 13th, 2021Has this with Spago’s schnitzel - it’s is terrific. A lot of citrus with some honey suckle - and only a hint of oak (not that typical for DuMol).
