The color was a dark purple that turns crimson at the rim. Soft nose of blueberry and cassis and a little must. The flavors are currant, cherry and vanilla. The finish is medium length with the tannins lingering after. This wine is not bad for the price and has no flaws but it does leave you looking for something. It’s easy to drink and enjoyable for a weekday dinner.
2006 DuMOL Pinot Noir Russian River Valley
The nose is a little muted at this point because of the wines youth. It does give off hints of honeysuckle, red berry and mineral. The berry and flower scents hang on through the palate and pick up just a touch of tannins on the finish that lingers. Another great effort from this producer.
