Note di degustazione
The 2017 Pinot Noir Joy Road Vineyard boasts extraordinary aromatic presence and tons of sheer sensuality. Sweet red cherry, raspberry jam, pomegranate, blood orange and mint give the Joy Road its distinctive personality. The 2017 is rich and exotic, but not at all heavy. And that is the magic of the coast. (AG)

The 2017 Pinot Noir Joy Road Vineyard has a pale to medium ruby-purple color and singular aromas of lilac and lavender, toast, smoke and pipe tobacco with cranberries, black cherries, wet bark, orange peel and amaro—very perfumed! Light to medium-bodied, it's perfumed and earthy in the mouth with youthful touches of new oak, a frame of fine, grainy tannins and juicy freshness, finishing very long and concentrated. This needs more time in bottle!
From sandy soils and a higher elevation site, the 2017 Pinot Noir Joy Road Vineyard offers a beautiful rose and floral character as well as tons of pretty red fruits. It’s medium-bodied and elegant, picking up hints of sandalwood and orange zest with air, and displays a balanced, complex, ethereal style. It’s beautiful today, yet I suspect it will benefit from a year or two in bottle and keep through 2027.
DuMol's 2017 Pinot Noir Joy Road Vineyard is plump, juicy and beautifully resonant. A rush of red/purplish berry fruit, rose petal, lavender and mint make a strong opening statement. Deceptively medium in body, the 2017 packs a serious punch. There is so much to like. The Joy Road is the most open of the DuMol Pinots.
