Dumol Wester Reach Chardonnay Russian River

The 2017 Wester Reach Chardonnay combines three singular traits: coastal freshness and vibrancy; Russian River Valley natural richness density and texture; and subtle elements of Burgundian savory/saline reduction. In essence a blend of three of our single vineyard Chardonnays it is a wine that drinks at an equivalent quality level to our lower production wines. From the lowest-yielding vintage in twenty years theres inherent concentration here a depth of flavor coming from the vines themselves rather than winemaking artifice. But theres also a firmness and seriousness that offsets this mid-palate weight and extends its citrus-oil-infused finish. The wine 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 patie
