Tasting notes
Lovely aromas of red cherry, thyme and white chocolate. Medium-bodied with dusty, slightly tight tannins. Crystal-clear red fruit and berries with sweet herbs. Harmonious, bright and driving. Pleasantly plummier at the finish. Fantastic length and fine, powdery tannins at the finish. Deep, dark earth too. Coiled and agile. Delicious now, but this is a wine for long-term aging. Best after 2026.

A fresh and vivid wine for a 2015 with tile, iron, raspberry and ripe strawberry. Orange peel, too. Full-bodied with firm, racy tannins. Just a baby still. Complex. Minerals and fruit at the end. Drink or hold.
Aromas of crushed red fruit, violets, dried herbs and a hint of menthol. Medium-to full-bodied with fine, velvety tannins. A strong core of red fruit is complimented by hints of suede, chopped nuts and toasted herbs. Steadying acidity. Aging really well and still has plenty of life. Drink or hold.
The 2018 Pinot Noir DuMOL Estate Vineyard is a gorgeous, deep wine. Black cherry, plum, spice, mocha and lavender fill out the layers in a serious, sepia-toned Pinot that speaks with tremendous authority. Even if the formidable tannins are nearly buried, the Estate is a potent wine. Give it a few years to come together. (AG)
