🏰 The 2021 DuMol Chardonnay Wester Reach is a highly acclaimed Russian River Valley Chardonnay, earning 95 points and Cellar Selection honors from Wine Enthusiast, and praised by Robert Parker as from "one of my favorite wineries." The 2021 vintage is a multi-layered interpretation of the classic Russian River Valley, blending fruit from valley-floor richness, ridgeline density, and coastal vibrancy, sourced from Flax, Charles Heintz, Lorenzo, and Cornerstone vineyards. It was barrel fermented and aged 11-12 months in 30-35% new French oak. 【The nose offers inviting notes of toasted pineapple and mango alongside shortbread, flint, and hazelnuts, with great aromatic intensity showcasing citrus, nectarine fruits, jasmine, orange blossom, and briny/flinty sea spray edges. The palate is soft, refined, and concentrated, revealing lemony green apple, deeper stone fruits, honeysuckle, ginger richness, and a deep, oily, layered texture. Fresh mineral and grapefruit acidity cut through the richness, leading to a long, echoing finish.】 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing: This Chardonnay would be superb with steamed scallops with vermicelli and garlic, or a rich lobster e-fu noodles. For Western cuisine, consider roasted chicken with herbs, pan-seared halibut with a lemon-butter sauce, or a creamy pasta primavera. 🥂 fit for event: An excellent choice for a celebratory seafood dinner, a gourmet poultry dish, or a special occasion where a top-tier Californian Chardonnay is desired. With its excellent aging potential, drinking well through 2030-2035, it's also a great addition to a cellar.
