2014 DUMOL ESTATE CHARDONNAY

Winemaker’s Notes

Almost a replica of the 2013 vintage, a wine that features prominently on Michelin-starred restaurant wine lists because it flickers stylistically between Europe and California, and that appeals to our sommelier friends. The new vintage is a little more reserved and will need more time to show fully, but that’s the overall nature of this vintage – restrained power, a whisper, not a foghorn. Make no mistake though, there’s deep flavor, fruit extract and vineyard character to burn here, it’s just wrapped up in precise, tense acidity that courses through this wine from start to long, mineral-stained finish.
