Product details
DuMOL Estate Vineyard Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2023 is a vineyard-designated Chardonnay that showcases the distinctive character of DuMOL's Estate Vineyard in California's Russian River Valley. Planted at high vine density and surrounded by the aromatic coastal forest of Sonoma, this small estate parcel expresses its unique environment through remarkable complexity and precision. Guided by DuMOL's meticulous vineyard stewardship and minimal-intervention philosophy, the 2023 vintage highlights the estate's coastal origins with exceptional balance, vibrant citrus intensity, and a layered, site-driven profile that reflects the individuality of this remarkable vineyard.
According to the producer, this Chardonnay opens with expressive aromas and flavors of lime, chamomile, jasmine, and kiwi, complemented by notes of tarragon, sage, white pepper, dried mint, bay laurel, and a chalky freshness. A full-bodied palate with an oily, rich texture is balanced by bright acidity, leading to a long finish accented by lemongrass and honeyed richness. This elegant Chardonnay pairs beautifully with grilled lobster, roasted chicken, seared scallops, halibut, creamy pasta, or mushroom risotto, where its vibrant structure and layered complexity complement refined, savory dishes.
