DuMOL Ryan Pinot Noir '22

From the cool-climate Russian River Valley, this single-vineyard Pinot Noir glows with a translucent ruby hue and an intoxicating nose of wild strawberry, rose petal, and freshly turned forest floor. The palate is both ethereal and precise—layers of red cherry, blood orange zest, and a whisper of clove unfold across silken tannins that earned 94 points. Whole-cluster fermentation (30%) and aging in French oak (40% new) lend structure without weight, finishing at just 13.5% alcohol. The finish lingers with violet pastille and crushed stone. Decant 30 minutes for seared duck breast or truffle-infused risotto to experience its Burgundian elegance. Best now through 2032.
