It offers gentle scents of honey, oats, nuts and dried white flowers over a peachy core. The medium-bodied palate has an understated savory character, balancing yeasty and mineral touches and bright acidity, finishing long and mineral-driven.\"\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e94 Points Jeb Dunnuck:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"The DuMol Chardonnay Wester Reach is a blend of the Ritchie, Heintz. Lorenzo, Dutton, and DuMOL Estate vineyards and was brought up in 35% new French oak. \u003cstrong\u003eIt has a classic Russian River Valley vibe\u003c\/strong\u003e in its rich orchard fruits, pear, buttered citrus, and brioche aromas and flavors. These all carry to a medium to full-bodied wine that has the fleshy, supple style of the vintage yet stays firmly in the DuMOL stylistic camp with its vibrant acidity and focused finish. Drink bottles over the coming 7-8 years or so.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points James Suckling: \u003c\/strong\u003e\"So smooth, silky and lush yet fresh, balanced and lively, too. Lots of baked apples, lemon zest and creme brulee on the palate. Long, linear and expansive in the finish. Drink now or hold.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e The DuMol 2023 Wester Reach Chardonnay Russian River Valley has great lines: focused, driven, mineral-laden and pithy, with a level of cool-climate fruit intensity that is very rare. This level of quality and distinctive character is hard to achieve in a larger-production blended wine, but is a testament to our pedigreed vineyards, precise farming, twenty years’ experience, and patient, sensitive craftsmanship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brix26","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42033621991506,"sku":"7454832689234","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/3826\/files\/Dumol_18_Chardonnay_0dd3b52a-656b-4dca-b82f-57bf5fbbc0b3.jpg?v=1771365236","url":"https:\/\/brix26.shop\/products\/dumol-2023-wester-reach-chardonnay-russian-river-valley","provider":"Brix26","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
