The 2022 Pinot Noir Wester Reach comes from several vineyards including Dumol Estate, Occidental Road, Dutton Ranch, Flax Estate and Placida. Grapes were harvested on August 15 and later on September 8, after the Labor Day heat wave set in. "About 15% of this wine was picked after the heat," winegrower Andy Smith says candidly. "That's that flush of riper fruit." Fermented with about 15% whole clusters, it has soft scents of strawberries, raspberries, rose petals and bitters. The medium-bodied palate is immediately approachable with its plush, spicy layers, and it has a long, perfumed finish. 4,450 cases were made.
DuMOL is a California wine estate based in the Sonoma region, known for its precise vineyard work and clearly defined approach to terroir. Since its founding in 1996, the estate has focused not on mass production but on interpreting each vineyard site and each vintage individually.
DuMOL works with carefully selected vineyards in Sonoma and parts of Napa. Every site is managed individually, taking into account soil composition, microclimate, and the specific conditions of each year. This approach allows the wines to reflect place rather than a uniform “house style.”
The estate has built a strong reputation with ‘Pinot Noir’, ‘Chardonnay’, and ‘Syrah’. ‘Pinot Noir’ shows concentration and structure while maintaining freshness and a clear fruit profile. ‘Chardonnay’ stands out for its balance, where fruit character is combined with precise acidity and subtle use of oak. ‘Syrah’ is marked by complex, spicy nuances while retaining elegance and a restrained structure.
The harvest is carried out by hand, fermentation is carefully controlled, and ageing takes place in French oak barrels used with restraint to avoid overshadowing the character of the site.
DuMOL wines are often described as concentrated yet not heavy, expressive yet not showy. It is a Californian interpretation built more on structure and balance than on sheer intensity.
