Indulge in the 2022 vintage of DuMOL's "Wester Reach" Pinot Noir, a sublime expression of our cherished region where passion meets craftsmanship. For over two decades, we've nurtured and harvested the finest grapes from select vineyards, blending the essence of four distinct sub-districts into each bottle.
Crafted from the valley's heart to its westernmost reaches, this Pinot Noir is a symphony of flavors. Our coastal DuMOL Estate anchors the blend with its luscious dark fruit, intertwined with savory spices and a vivacious brightness that dances on the palate. Ascend to the heights of Dutton Ranch, where red and black fruits soar with unmatched purity, a testament to the terroir of the Green Valley's ridge tops.
Delve deeper into the Santa Rosa Plains with Occidental Road, where the soil yields fruit of unparalleled richness and textural depth, while Flax Estate, perched above the river in the Middle Reach, adds layers of structure and density from volcanic soils. Placida, nestled on the Laguna Ridge, bestows a late-ripening fruit imbued with exquisite texture and a lingering mossy complexity.
In the embrace of the Russian River Valley, our blend emerges as a harmonious composition: 32% DuMOL Estate, 24% Occidental Road, 20% Dutton Ranch, 12% Flax Estate, and 12% Placida. Each component contributes its unique voice to the chorus, creating a wine of unparalleled balance and depth.
Matured for 15 months in French oak barrels from esteemed cooperages Ermitage and Remond, our Pinot Noir evolves gracefully, marrying the fruit's essence with the oak's subtle influence. The result is a wine that captivates the senses, inviting you on a journey through the terroir of the Russian River Valley.
Indulge in the elegance of DuMOL's 2022 Wester Reach Pinot Noir—a testament to our dedication to quality and our deep connection to the land. With each sip, discover the essence of our region, encapsulated in a bottle that transcends time and place. Experience the artistry of DuMOL, where every drop tells a story of passion, precision, and unparalleled craftsmanship.

Socially Rated 4+ / 5 ⭐
The wine’s broad base is centered upon our coastal DuMOL Estate with dark fruit intensity, savory spice, and bright vibrancy. At higher elevation on a ridgetop overlooking the Green Valley, Dutton Ranch offers soaring red and black fruit characters of beautiful purity. On the deeper silty/clays of the Santa Rosa Plains, Occidental Road provides broad fruit extract and textural richness.
