Product details
DuMOL Ryan Russian River Pinot Noir 2023 is a flagship Pinot Noir that reflects DuMOL's longstanding commitment to producing vineyard-driven expressions from California's renowned Russian River Valley. Centered on fruit from the historic Dutton-Widdoes Vineyard, including old vines that have shaped the Ryan cuvée since its inaugural 2002 vintage, this release pays tribute to the estate's classic house style. The 2023 vintage emphasizes generous fruit, refined texture, and remarkable balance, combining the richness of Russian River Valley with the precision and craftsmanship that have become hallmarks of DuMOL. Built for both early enjoyment and graceful bottle development, it showcases the enduring character of this celebrated vineyard.
According to the producer, the 2023 Ryan opens with aromas and flavors of cranberry, rhubarb, dark wild berries, violet, anise, sweet mint, and kirsch, followed by a broad, succulent palate. Supple tannins and a satiny texture lead to a lingering finish accented by sweet truffle and black tea, creating a layered and elegant expression. This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roasted duck, grilled salmon, herb-roasted chicken, pork tenderloin, wild mushroom dishes, or mild aged cheeses, complementing a wide range of refined, savory cuisine.
