Notes of flint, grapefruit, and light grassy accents carry through rich texture, and a persistent palate presence in the DuMol Estate Chardonnay. This wine offers a nice balance of full flavour with lots of movement, mouthwatering juiciness, and a saline crunch. Will continue to develop with age.

The brilliant 2012 Chardonnay Estate (740 cases) also spent 13 months in barrel (40% new) and was bottled unfined and unfiltered. In 2012, the Estate Vineyard was 7 years of age, and is planted with the Old Wente selection known as the Hyde clone as well as some of the Mt. Eden selection from that iconic winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Elegant as well as powerful, this beautiful Chardonnay exhibits notes of lemon custard, spring flowers, citrus blossoms, orange marmalade, melons and white peaches. The acidity is crisp and well-integrated, and the overall impression is one of beautiful, full-bodied, aromatic and persistent richness. Enjoy it over the next 7-8 years.

The 2012 Chardonnay Estate has turned out beautifully. An energetic, vibrant Chardonnay, the Estate dazzles with a fabulous combination of ripe stone fruits and expressive aromatics, all supported by beams of salivating acidity and minerality. This is a jewel of a wine from DuMol. Jan 2015, www.vinous.com, Drink: 2015-2022
