DuMol Pinot Noir Russian River Valley Dutton-Jentoft Vineyard 2022

97 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "The 2022 Pinot Noir Dutton-Jentoft Vineyard is entirely from the Calera clone of Pinot Noir grown in lean soils, surrounded by forest at 900 feet elevation. In the glass, it pours a bright ruby color and reveals notes of ripe, fresh pine needles, black raspberries, and mint, as well as a resinous feel. Medium-bodied, it has nervous tension through the palate, with savory salinity and a great finish. It offers a more vertical feel, but it's fantastic and one of the most structured wines from this vintage in the range. It's going to benefit from another year or two in cellar and will drink well over the following 15-20 years. Drink: 2024-2044. (6/27/24)"

96 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): "Medium to deep ruby-purple in color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Dutton-Jentoft Vineyard bursts with bold notes of black cherries, mulberries, and black raspberries giving way to hints of dried herbs, mossy tree bark, and resin. The medium-bodied palate is tightly wound with intense black berry flavors framed by a fine-grained texture and great tension, finishing long and savory. This is all Calera clone, planted in 2007. Alcohol 13.7%. Drink: 2025-2033. (6/26/24)"

95 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2022 Pinot Noir Dutton-Jentoft Vineyard is stellar. Rich, sumptuous and expansive, the 2022 possesses notable textural depth and intensity. Black cherry, plum, cloves, new leather, menthol, espresso and licorice all build in the glass. This dense, layered Pinot is absolutely striking in the way it balances fruit intensity, energy and structure. (Drink between 2025-2034. (Jan 2024)"

95 points James Suckling: "The spices and pure fruit come through beautifully, with iron, terra cotta and dried strawberry character. Medium- to full-bodied with a reserved nature, and then it delivers at the end with panache. Tight and muscular yet poised. Drink after 2026. (6/12/24)"

94 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "[$115 list] Grapes for the 2022 Pinot Noir Dutton-Jentoft Vineyard were harvested on August 17, well before the Labor Day heat wave. It features alluring scents of pomegranate and detailed nuances of hibiscus, orange peel, mossy bark and cinnamon. The medium-bodied palate is silky and mouthwatering with detailed, spicy flavors and a long, complex finish. 440 cases were made. Drink: 2025-2035. (7/11/24)"
