A blend from 5 premier estate vineyards and aged in French oak (35% new). Medium lemon with aromas of stone fruits, citrus, spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach and pear with creamy citrus, biscuit, honeysuckle and nutty toasty oak. Smooth, long finish, well balanced with savory acidity, ending with fruit and yeasty mineral character. Nice!

Gorgeous #russianrivervalley #chardonnay - fresh and baked apple, honeyed lemon notes on nose - beautiful, fresh acidity on frame, lovely medium-bodied mouthfeel, subtle butterscotch notes. This is one of my benchmarks for excellent #sonomacounty Chard.

Very Burgundian Style. Crisp Citrus notes and smooth finish.

Winner of a recent small scale Chardonnay tasting. Prefer my older DuMols in the cellar, but it showed well.

Love @DuMOL Winery cabs and have been dying to try their chard. This did not disappoint! Made in a Burgundian style, there were citrus and flint notes on the nose. Pear and almond mid-palate. Was lacking as far as acid, but still paired nicely with oysters and tuna tartare.

2018. Good but less toasty than the 2017.

Fun wine! Great acid, tropical fruits, not too much oak.
