2006 DuMOL Pinot Noir Ryan Green Valley (USA, California, Sonoma County, Green Valley)

Spicy wild-berry and raspberry on the nose. The flavors across the palate are wild-berry, cola and plumb. This wine is very well balanced with a nice minerality in the structure. The finish is long with the fine grained tannins hanging on all the way through. It’s an indulgence for most ($75)  and hard to find, but a must try if you want to experience artisan wine making in this class of California Pinot Noir. DuMol is at the head of the class when it comes to rich, complex and indulgent California Pinot rs. These wines are crafted so they are worth the extra effort in finding them and the extra price on a special occasion.
