DuMOL Chardonnay Estate Vineyard 2023
Details

“Laser-focused on citrus flavors and offering brilliant, bracing acidity that makes it feel so linear and fresh. Lemon zest, lime curd and a bit of green apple freshness, then chalky minerals and white pepper as you keep sipping. An amazingly fresh wine with a low pH more likely in a German riesling. Drinkable now, but best from 2029.” - James Suckling

“The higher elevation cousin to the Bressay, the 2023 Chardonnay DuMol Estate comes from a two-acre section of the vineyard planted to the Mt. Eden clone of Chardonnay. From this protected, tree-shaded site with high-density spacing (which ripens about a week later), the wine displays a bright yellow color and offers a wonderful, focused drive on the nose, with notes of fresh ginger, fresh apples, lime, and saline. It has a compact core with good density, although it ultimately showcases its more cool-vintage character with its vibrant energy and persistent length. Drink 2025-2037.” - Jeb Dunnuck

“The 2023 Chardonnay Estate leaps from the glass with vibrant notes of green mango, fresh pineapple, and lemongrass, followed by hints of wet slate and fresh ginger. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers energetic tropical fruit flavors and gingery accents with a racy line and a minerally finish.” - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent
