Tasting notes
The 2023 Chardonnay Estate Vineyard comes from high-density Mt. Eden vines. Grapes were harvested from September 23 to October 1, and the wine was matured for 11 months in 26% new French oak cigare barrels, followed by six months in tank. It has a kaleidoscopic perfume of crème brûlée, panna cotta and matchstick, melon, nectarine and orange peel. The full-bodied palate is incredibly powerful and concentrated, and its exotic, tropical flavors are delivered in a luxurious, satiny texture. It's balanced by vibrant acidity and has an epically long finish. 800 cases were made.

Key characteristics
About this wine
DuMOL is renowned for producing elegant, terroir-driven Chardonnays from California's most prestigious coastal regions. This Estate Vineyard Chardonnay from Sonoma Coast exemplifies the winery's commitment to showcasing the unique characteristics of cool-climate viticulture. The Sonoma Coast appellation, with its maritime influence and mineral-rich soils, imparts a distinctive stony minerality and vibrant acidity that defines DuMOL's signature style.
Crafted from meticulously farmed Chardonnay grapes, this wine balances concentration with elegance at a refreshing 13% ABV. The cooler coastal temperatures allow for extended ripening, developing complex stone fruit characteristics and subtle herbaceous notes while preserving natural acidity and length. DuMOL's winemaking philosophy prioritizes purity of expression over heavy oak influence, resulting in a sophisticated white wine that reflects its vineyard origin.
This California Chardonnay pairs beautifully with shellfish, crab, and lobster, as well as cream-based dishes like mushroom risotto and Camembert. It's equally impressive alongside sushi, sashimi, and chicken curry. Ideal for discerning collectors seeking refined, terroir-focused Chardonnay for yacht, villa, or fine dining settings.
