2024 DuMOL 'Wester Reach' Chardonnay Russian River Valley
$64.95
(Net Item - no discounts apply)
The “Wester Reach” Chardonnay includes some of the finest sites in the appellation—vineyards that DuMOL have either planted, farmed or harvested for over twenty-five years. The cooler climes produce smaller berries which adds to the concentration of flavors. Lemon and nectarine on the palate with a lift of floral thyme and mint. Bright acidity gives this wine a long finish.

Lemon confit, marzipan and light tropical inflections all grace this soft, inviting Chardonnay. About a third of the fruit is from Heintz, which tends to show those characteristics. Brisk saline notes round out the finish.
