Tasting notes
The 2020 Pinot Noir DuMOL Estate Vineyard is resinous with pine, forested earth, and kirsch. The palate has another gear of intensity and is full with ripe tannins and a long finish. The palate gives way to cherry pit, rocky soil, and spice. Hold for a few years and drink over the following 15 or more years.

Medium ruby-purple, the 2020 Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard is fragrant and floral, with blueberry, cranberry and pomegranate fruit and wafts of dried violet and tangerine peel. The medium-bodied palate is surprisingly concentrated with ripe, fragrant fruit. It has a grainy, refreshing frame and a long finish loaded with floral perfume. So expressive!
The 2020 Pinot Noir DuMOL Estate Vineyard is a very beautiful wine. Sweet dark cherry. Cloves, licorice, incense, lavender and earthy notes lend quite a bit of complexity. There's a good bit of tannin, too, so I would cellar the 2020 for at least a year or two. Naturally, the density of the best years is not there, but pretty much everything else is.
