Heiner Lobenberg om:
Wester Reach Chardonnay 2023

95
/100

"Wester Reach" er en blanding af druer fra fem af Russian River Valleys mest unikke steder, plantet af DuMOL for over 20 år siden. Størstedelen kommer fra DuMOL's Estate Vineyard, mens de resterende druer kommer fra områder vest for den, der endda strækker sig ind i de køligste områder af Russian River-regionen nær kysten - det sikrer den fantastiske friskhed i druerne. Modnet i 11 måneder på 30 procent nye franske barriques, efterfulgt af fire måneder på tank før aftapning. Medium citrongul farve. Den puristiske næse er præget af delikate citrus- og stenfrugtaromaer. Citronskal, fersken og moden abrikos. Den elegant fine reduktion leger med stenmel, subtile røgede noter og vilde engurter og jasminblomst. Så snart vinen rammer tungen, løber mit mundvand. Hvilken vidunderlig animerende krystallinsk saltholdighed! Citroncreme, friske gule æbler, appelsinskal, kvæde og delikat cremet vanilje og muskatnød - et fantastisk samspil mellem krydderi og frugt. Citronmelisse og laurbærbladskrydderi giver denne spændende vin ekstra friskhed. En fantastisk introduktion til Chardonnay fra DuMol - super klasse!

Suckling om: Wester Reach Chardonnay

So smooth, silky and lush yet fresh, balanced and lively, too. Lots of baked apples, lemon zest and creme brulee on the palate. Long, linear and expansive in the finish. Drink now or hold.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Wester Reach Chardonnay

The appellation wine and calling card of the house, the 2023 Chardonnay Wester Reach is fresh on the nose, with notes of light flint, lime zest, bright flowers, white pepper, and green apples. It has a compact feel but with electric energy and a fantastic oily citrus texture on the finish. It’s a blend from five vineyards and was aged for 12 months in 20% new oak barrels. Drink 2025-2035.

Parker om: Wester Reach Chardonnay

The 2023 Chardonnay Wester Reach is blended from several vineyards including Flax, El Diablo and Heintz. Grapes were harvested September 14 to October 14, and the wine was matured for 11 months in 27% new French oak barrels, followed by four months in tank. It has enveloping aromas of peach, lemon peel, custard, toast and matchstick. The full-bodied palate is satiny and mouth-coating with concentrated flavors. It’s balanced by taut acidity and has a long, luxuriously creamy finish. 4,600 cases were made.
