Full yellow color. Musky, truffley aromas of mirabelle, peach, caramel and banana skin.Juicy and sweet, with slightly exotic yellow fruit flavors nicely framed by ripe acidity.Finishes firm and attractively sweet.

Rich, round and quite intriguing on the nose. Much more obvious acidity than in most of these wines. Really tucked in for future development and not at all hot. Grapefruit notes and weight and depth without alcohol. Bravo! (JR)
The 2004 Chardonnay Russian River, a blend of fruit from the Heintz, Ritchie, and Hyde vineyards, is a full-throttle, honeyed, citrus-smelling wine with full body, loads of fruit, a hint of white peaches, and good minerality. Kudos to DuMol, one of the brilliant shining stars of the North Coast Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah sweepstakes. In the past four years, this has become one of my favorite stops on my tasting trip through California’s North Coast. One can’t say enough about owner Kerry Murphy and his talented winemaker, Scotsman Andy Smith. Together they have produced a bevy of extraordinary Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs, and recently added some full-throttle Syrahs to the portfolio. Tel. (925) 254-8922; Fax (925) 254-8942
