DuMOL Pinot Noir Ryan 2023

DuMOL Pinot Noir Ryan 2023 is a cool-climate Russian River Valley Pinot Noir that captures both precision and coastal character in a beautifully composed wine. Sourced entirely from the steep, south-facing Dutton-Jentoft Vineyard, it combines altitude, finesse, and terroir-driven detail with the kind of pedigree Pinot lovers look for in a bottle built for both early enjoyment and graceful aging.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Ryan 2023 shows the elegance and clarity you expect from top-tier Pinot Noir, with lifted aromatics and a polished, medium-bodied profile. The nose is intensely expressive, opening with rose petals, pomegranate, blood orange zest, and subtle notes of forest floor, tree resin, and seaweed-like salinity that speak to its maritime influence. On the palate, the wine moves from blood orange into darker berry fruit and black tea, framed by tangy, mouthwatering acidity and a distinctly mineral texture. Fine-grained oak adds quiet structure rather than weight, while the long, focused, bittersweet finish suggests excellent aging potential over the next several years.

Production
The fruit comes 100% from Dutton-Jentoft Vineyard, where a 16-year-old Calera clone site sits on a steep, south-facing ridge in the Russian River Valley. The vineyard’s cool maritime exposure and elevated position help preserve freshness and aromatic precision, while careful manual farming ensures low-intervention, high-quality fruit. Harvest took place on 23 September under optimal conditions. The wine was then spontaneously fermented and matured for 15 months in French barriques, with 33% new oak from Tonnelleries Mercurey and Millard, allowing the vineyard character to remain at the forefront while adding subtle texture and complexity.

Food & Serving
This Pinot Noir pairs wonderfully with roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, pork tenderloin, or dishes with earthy ingredients such as truffle, wild mushrooms, or root vegetables. Serve slightly cool, ideally around 14–16°C, and consider decanting for 20–30 minutes if drinking young to help the aromatics open and the texture soften.
