This blue chip Russian River pinot noir affords all of the hallmarks of the area: Dense, black cherry on the core, well-extracted, then cola and a pinch of pepper. The depth may be daunting at occasions, bordering on jammy in the event you’re having fun with this by itself. A slight chill and pairing with a meal give this DuMol some extra room to work, letting notes of lavender, baking spice, and a few clove emerge. It’s a strong exhibiting, however I’ve had extra soulful, nuanced wines from DuMol.
