DuMol 2023 Pinot Noir “MacIntyre” Russian River Valley 98 Points

Winemaker Notes: One of the highlights of the vintage, our new release of MacIntyre Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir rivals the stellar 2021 for our finest expression yet from this dynamic vineyard. The wine is a study of contrasts—packed full of deep, dense fruits but with a vivid and distinctly elegant purity. Soaring aromatic range typical of vines grown on sandy soil: deep dark fruit offset by delicate floral tones and mineral freshness. Mint, sage, and hibiscus notes add complexity. Bright red fruits dominate the entry but quickly darken to a powerfully deep black fruit expression of cassis and huckleberry. As the wine opens, its succulent texture unfolds underpinned by racy acidity and youthful structure. The swirling aromas and flavors echo long on the finish. Drink between late-2025 and 2035 and gently decant in its youth to bring out its texture fully.”

James Suckling 98 Points:

Vinous 97 Points: “… another hugely promising wine from DuMOL. Dense and packed to the core, the 2023 possesses tremendous density from start to finish. Savory overtones linger on the close…”
