#1 Hi-Time's Top Domestic White Wines of 2024
To say we are ecstatic about carrying the wines from DuMOL would be a severe understatement. This estate has been working tirelessly for over two decades to bring consumers their best expressions of wine from the Russian River Valley and they have succeeded like few others have! Winemaker Jenna Davis has worked at some of the most illustrious wineries in California, including Opus One and Spottswoode, and has been an integral part of DuMol's success since 2016.
DuMol's Chloe Chardonnay showcases the warmer central Russian River Valley district. The soils here are clay-dominant and amplify the wine's deep flavor and broad, layered texture. It's a blend of several different Chardonnay clones in order to increase complexity and the wine was aged for 11 months in 30% new French Oak, then held in tank for 6 months to bring verve to the wine. This magnificent wine earned a 96-point score from esteemed critic Jeb Dunnuck.
JEB DUNNUCK 96 POINTS - "Pouring a bright medium yellow/straw hue, the 2021 Chardonnay Chloe is highly expressive, with a golden perfume of pineapple, orange oil, and a bit of honeysuckle. It has full body and a rounded texture, with ripe apricot, hazelnut, and white flowers. A lusher personality to drink over the next ten years, it’s a bit more open at this youthful stage."
ANTONIO GALLONI 95 POINTS - "The 2021 Chardonnay Chloe is one of the more open-knit, voluptuous wines in this range. Soft, supple contours wrap around orange peel, butter and white flowers. Floral and sweet spice notes lend notable breadth on the finish. The Chloe is one of the first of these whites I would open. It is especially showy in this tasting."
ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 94 POINTS - "The 2021 Chardonnay Chloe is scented of white peach, jasmine, meringue and toasted almonds with flinty streaks. The light-bodied palate has a gently grippy texture and refreshing acidity to balance its concentrated core of spicy stone fruit, and it has a long finish full of ripe fruit."
