DuMOL Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023 750 ML
Impressions
At twenty years old, our Estate Pinot vines are at the height of their powers—and
in a vintage as successful as 2023, it’s natural that they would produce their finest
quality to date. These vines left nothing out in the field in 2023; they grew and
produced at their highest potential, and through our finely honed craft, we were
able to capture and preserve that quality during fermentation, aging, blending, and
finally bottling. The wine has a densely packed, tightly coiled power that elevates it
and sets it apart. While approachable now due to the suppleness of the 2023 vintage,
it’s really tucked in for future development—all the building blocks of future grand
scale complexity are present in abundance. Don’t miss this release: one of the finest
wines we’ve ever produced.
The wine is immediately dark, intense and pure with black fruits, hibiscus, dried herbs,
cedar and Asian spices. Focused and linear, with air, the wine becomes expansive and
layered. There's obvious, deep chewy fruit extract, the natural product of the grape
skins themselves. The flavors drive towards a rising crescendo of black cherry and black
currant fruit with melting tannins and prominent mineral acidity. Drink between
late 2025 and 2038. A gentle decant will hasten the wine’s evolution in the glass.
