The 2019 Chardonnay Wester Reach is a terrific appellation level wine. Crushed rocks, lemon confit, slate and green orchard fruit all grace this taut, nervy Russian River Chardonnay. The 2019 is beautifully done. The blend of sites is 30% DuMOL Estate, 22% Dutton-Morelli, 16% Flax Estate, 16% Heintz and 16% Ritchie. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2021)

Sep 10th, 2021Loved this Chardonnay from DuMol. Enough oak to get your attention, but still maintained the RRV character. Meyer lemon, apricot and stone fruit. Gave it a good hour and it really blossomed. Lingering finish with a hint of acidity.
