Dear friends,

We have just received a mere couple cases of the newest DuMOL releases: the most elite Sonoma stalwart we've ever had the privilege to earn allocations of. It only took about a decade...

More About DuMOL:
Founded in 1996, DuMOL is a vineyard focused producer of cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from distinctive vineyards in the extreme southwestern part of the Russian River Valley. They also grow and craft small-lot Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Viognier from exceptional vineyard sites in Sonoma and Napa, expanding upon twenty-five years of winegrowing experience. DuMOL's 25 acre sustainably farmed Estate Vineyard is located on an undulating east-facing slope of one of the appellation's famous ridgelines. From this classic site and in tandem with some of the coastal area's finest growers, DuMOL crafts wines that fully capture the aromatics, flavors and textures that exemplify their vineyard sites and varietals character in the purest and most precise form.

We have to reiterate that DuMOL's wines are normally available ONLY through limited allocation offers to their member's mailing list, and a few select restaurants worldwide. They could go back to being this exclusive for the next vintage - there's no way to know. So order now and don't miss out!

Cheers,
—James Tran
2020 DuMOL "Chloe" Ritchie Vineyard Russian River Valley Chardonnay

97 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"The 2020 Chardonnay Chloe is rich with aromas of mineral-rich earth, pine resin, Meyer lemon. and yellow apple. The palate is fleshy, with orange oil, a touch of savory richness, and stony mouthfeel. It is appealing and open now, but it will certainly hold on for 10 or more years." - Audrey Frick (8/2/2022)

96 Points - Robert Parker's WA:
"The 2020 Chardonnay Chloe, from the El Diablo Vineyard and Lorenzo Vineyard, offers an incredible combination of concentrated flavors and energetic acidity. It has intense aromas of apricot and quince with nuances of elderflower, brioche, cashews and honey, pleasing, flinty reduction and classy new oak spices. The full-bodied palate explodes with layers of ripe fruits supported by a satiny texture and focused acidity, and it has a dynamic finish that segues from stone fruits to flowers and spicy accents. Wow! About 1,000 cases were made." - EB (Jul 2022)

2020 DuMOL "Wester Reach" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

96 Points & Cellar Selection - Wine Enthusiast:
"Spicy, high-toned and strong in tannin, this is an impressive wine in its youth that will only get better. Cardamon, rose petal, black tea and tree bark give it a savory edginess that appeals and adds to the overall complexity and measured weight, finishing bright and fresh. Enjoy best 2030–2035." - VB (11/1/2022)

94 Points - Robert Parker's WA:
"The 2020 Pinot Noir Wester Reach is one of Dumol's larger cuvées, and production was normal despite the challenges of the vintage (3,750 cases). It has alluring purity on the nose, with scents of cranberries, rhubarb, tobacco leaves, orange peel and aniseed. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated and powerful without losing detail, framed by powdery tannins and refreshing acidity. It offers an array of spice and floral accents on the finish. Lovely! 2022-2032." -EB (7/14/22)

93 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"The 2020 Pinot Noir Wester Reach has a rich perfume of black cherry cola, sassafras, and sweet violets. The palate is full and ripe, with black raspberry as well as ripe tannins and a note of black tea. Drink over the next 15 or more years." - Audrey Frick (8/2/2022)

2018 DuMOL Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

98 Points, #7 Top 100 of 2021 - Wine Enthusiast:
"A lovely, 100% varietal wine aged 20 months in French oak, this is juicy, herbal and offers a substantial foundation of power. Cedar, tobacco and tomato leaf accent a core of crushed rock, dark plum and threads of acidity—the weight and structure lifted by underlying freshness. This is a good candidate for cellaring; enjoy best from 2028 through 2038." - Virginie Boone (10/1/2021)

90-93 Points - Vinous:
"DuMOL's 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is such a gorgeous wine, especially in its peer group. Vibrant and nuanced to the core, the 2018 is endowed with tremendous class. Dark fruit, chocolate, lavender, spice and grilled herbs give this expressive, vibrant Cabernet so much detail." -AG (4/20)
