Founded in 1996, DuMOL is a latter-day pioneer in the Russian River Valley. Winemaker, Viticulturist and Partner, Andy Smith, farmed the region for nearly a decade before joining in 1999. Associate Winemakers Julie Cooper, Jenna Davis, and Cellar Master Jaime Eufracio have over 40 years combined experience at DuMOL.

In the glass, the color reveals bright golden hues that sparkle in the glass. This wine oozes classic Russian River aromas of pear, pineapple, lemon zest, minerality and a hint of nutmeg. The palate has a rich and delicious mouth-feel and acidity that is beautifully integrated leading to a fresh, vibrant finish. I can go on describing this wonderfully made Russian River Chardonnay. It’s that good! The DuMOL Wester Reach Chardonnay is one of the larger produced cuvees and should be available at your local fine wine shop.
