DuMOL Pinot Noir Wester Reach Russian River Valley 2023 Magnum

DuMOL’s 2023 Wester Reach Pinot Noir brings together fruit from five Russian River Valley vineyards in a magnum format, offering a generous expression of the vintage with extra room to develop. Its blend of valley-floor richness, hillside concentration and coastal freshness gives the wine both depth and lift.

Tasting Notes
The nose offers red and dark berries, cherry, anise, pine and floral spice. On the palate, layers of cherry and blackberry mingle with orange peel and spice, supported by fine tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is long and energetic; the wine can be enjoyed young for its vivid fruit or cellared for greater complexity over the next 10–15 years, with the magnum format particularly well suited to ageing.

Production
The fruit comes from Occidental Road, Dutton-Upp Road, Flax Estate, DuMOL Estate and Placida vineyards in the Russian River Valley. The vines average around 18 years of age, with Calera, Swan, Pommard and Dijon clones represented. A long, cool 2023 growing season shaped the wine’s precision and freshness. It was aged for 15 months in French oak, 28% of it new. Harvesting and vinification details were not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 15–16°C with roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes or herb-roasted chicken. Decant for 30–45 minutes if serving young to let the aromas open; older bottles may benefit from only a brief airing.
