DuMol Chardonnay Russian River Valley Chloe 2022

96 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "A Central Russian River Blend, the 2022 Chardonnay Chloe is a bright yellow hue and captures a wide spectrum of citrus with notes of orange, Meyer lemon, fresh pineapple, toasted spice, and a hint of almond through the mid-palate as well as a nice lift of citrus on the finish. It’s a beautiful wine offering a richer tone through the range. Drink: 2024-2034. (6/27/24)"

95 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): "The 2022 Chardonnay Chloe hops from the glass with exuberant notes of white peaches, fresh pears, and yellow apples opening out to nuances of honeysuckle and ginger tea. The medium-bodied palate has great tension and intensity, with layers of orchard fruit flavors and a long, ginger-laced finish. The first vintage of Chloe was 2000. This year the blend is 30% Flora Marie Vineyard, 40% Bressay, and 30% El Diablo. Drink: 2025-2032. (Jun 2024)"

95 points James Suckling: "Lemongrass, sage and apples with some pastry dough and flint. Medium-bodied with a pretty core of fruit and hints of minerals, flint and spices such as peppercorns and cloves. Drink it now. (6/11/24)"

94 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Chardonnay Chloe comes from three vineyards: Flora Marie (30%), El Diablo (30%) and Dumol's Bressay Estate Vineyard (40%). Grapes were harvested August 12, 18 and 26. It has heady, enveloping scents of peach, quince, lemongrass and jasmine, plus touches of toast and spice. The palate is silky and mouthwatering and features layer after layer of perfumed fruit that lingers in the mouth long after the wine has gone. Drink: 2025-2035. (7/11/24)"

93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2022 Chardonnay Chloe is laced with hints of orchard fruit, lemon confit, marzipan, tangerine peel and a kiss of French oak. Effusive in its bouquet yet also delicate in feel, Chloe is a supremely charming wine. Soft contours wrap it all together in style. Drink: 2024-2030. (Jan 2024)"
