DuMOL
DuMOL is one of America's very best producers of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This Burgundian style collection of wines from the 'shining stars' of Northern California (owner Kerry Murphy and winemaker Andy Smith) compares with the best of the Côte d'Or. DuMOL Winery, named after the initial winemaker’s children (Duncan and Molly), is a 25-acre biodynamically farmed estate located on an undulating east-facing slope of one of Russian River Valley's most famous ridgelines. The wines are made from small select parcels across more than two dozen vineyards; from these, DuMOL crafts wines that capture the aromatics, flavors, and textures of their vineyard sites.

Silky tannins wrap around a core of dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal and mocha, with bright Spring Mountain acids that extend the finish effortlessly. This sumptuous, open-knit Cabernet is a real head-turner.Inc. VAT£712.84 -

The sole Napa Chardonnay in this range, the 2018 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard is ample and broad in feel. Apricot, tangerine oil, spice, vanillin and tropical fruit all show the richer, more extroverted side of Chardonnay to great effect. The Hyde is more power than finesse, and there is plenty of the former.Inc. VAT£934.18 -
Vinous (90)
The 2020 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard is an attractive wine for the year. Readers won't find too many Hyde signatures here, and the wine is lacking depth as well as resonance, but on the other hand it is clean and impeccably balanced, which is about as good as it gets for 2020.Inc. VAT£946.18 -
The Wine Independent (99)
The 2021 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard needs quite a bit of coaxing to unlock notes of ripe yellow apples, grapefruit oil, orange peel, and juicy peaches, leading to wafts of wet slate, shaved ginger, and almond croissant. The medium-bodied palate has super-charged intensity, delivering layer upon layer of citrus, stone fruit, and mineral flavors with a silky texture and laser-precise acidity, finishing with incredible length and so many citrus and mineral sparks. This is phenomenal Chardonnay! These Hyde Vineyard vines were planted in 1986. "Hyde were the first to do custom growing and they do it so well," commented DuMOL's winemaker, Andy Smith. "The shoot growth in 2021 was very low and the yields were down from a typical 21 barrels to 17 barrels. But I believe this is the best quality is the best they've ever had from here." I agree. For number crunchers, the pH is 3.38, and ABV is 13.7%.Inc. VAT£550.84 -

One of my favorites in the lineup was the 2016 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard, which comes from 23-year-old vines planted in one of the reference point vineyards in Carneros. Lemon, apricot, spice, flower oils, and tangerine skin are just some of the nuances here, and it builds with time in the glass. Deep, awesomely concentrated, and structured, yet still seamless and weightless, give it a year or two, count yourself lucky, and enjoy bottles over the coming 10-15 years.Inc. VAT£560.44 -

The 2017 Pinot Noir DuMOL Estate Vineyard is more earthy and savory, with a concentrated, foursquare style that’s going to benefit from short-term cellaring. Notes of black cherries, bouquet garni, earth, and chocolate all define the bouquet, and it has building tannins, a great mid-palate, and impressive length.Inc. VAT£1,246.18 -

There are 780 cases of the 2018 Pinot Noir DuMOL Estate Vineyard, another awesome bottle of Pinot Noir from Andy Smith. All destemmed and aged 15 months in 45% new French oak, its deeper ruby color is followed by a stunning nose of black raspberries, scorched earth, charcoal, forest floor, and candied orange zest. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and beautifully concentrated, it has some background oak to integrate, but offers perfect balance in its tannins and acidity, a great mid-palate, and a great finish.
