The 2013 DuMol 'Russian River Valley' Pinot Noir is an outstanding effort that is impossible to resist right now. The wine underweight roughly 20% whole cluster fermentation. Having a dense core, this slowly opens with aromatics reminiscent of spicecake, red cherry, red currant and boysenberry liquor. Showing a dense mouthfeel and a plush texture, the wine offers flavors of red cherry syrup, raspberry, asian spices and nutmeg with a long, mineral and red fruit driven finish. I can see this cellaring well for a decade or more. (Best 2017-2027) - May, 2017 (OB)
