Dumol Wester Reach RRV Chardonnay 2022 750 ML

95 pointsJeb Dunnuck

A bright yellow color, the 2022 Chardonnay Wester Reach is a textbook example of this vintage, with a lot of elegance and a wide drinking window. From the Russian River Valley and aged in 25% new oak barrels for 11 months, it takes on more glycerol richness and a rounded profile. A great wine out of the gate, it captures the sunny feel of the region, but its light on its feet and closes with a great finish. This is a crowd-pleaser of a wine, and I would be happy to have this on my table at any stage. Drink 2024-2032

Bright and aromatically compelling on the nose, this Chardonnay simply vibrates with aromas of green apple, lemon balm, orange blossom and river rocks. The palate is energetic, giving flavors of apricot, Meyer lemon peel and a massive streak of acidity ripping from front to back. *Editors’ Choice*

So much Meyer lemon and apple character with some pears on the nose and palate. Its medium-bodied. Its like tasting out of a fermenter full of crushed must. Such unadulterated purity. A tight palate with bright acidity and lovely fruit.
