Tasting Notes From Wine Enthusiast Magazine (2019 Vintage)
96 points - “Dark oak and spice notes fill the entry of this impressive wine, showing clove and stem on the way to structured tannin. Substantial structure is on offer, in addition to complexity. The wine richly balanced and rewarding in black cherry, tea and forest."
DuMOL was founded in 1996, focusing on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from distinctive vineyards in Sonoma and Napa Valley. Over the 25 years of operation, they have honed their skill in making wines of place and distinction. DuMOL has added to the roster of varietals to include small lots of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Viognier. DuMOL is farming small select parcels across more than two dozen very special vineyard sites. These sites include their own vineyard as well as others in the Russian River Valley and sites in Sonoma Coast and Carneros regions. Andy Smith, head winemaker and partner, says it takes time to determine the detailed characteristics of a vineyard and then to use the right winemaking techniques to produce the best wine possible from that site. The capacity at the winery is 15,000 cases annually. The winery is not open to the public and sales are through their mailing list, restaurants and a small selection of public retailers.
Kensington Wine Market is honoured to be one of DuMOL's exclusive wine stores.

"One of the most collectible Pinot Noirs made in all of Oregon is from a winery you’ve probably never heard of: Thomas Winery. Located in Carlton, Oregon, winemaker John Thomas has been releasing small amounts of wine from the Thomas Vineyard since 1988."
"Except for those vintages where he declassifies some of the fruit, Thomas produces only one wine, his Dundee Hills Pinot Noir. Each year, he produces a very small amount, less than 400 cases from a very small plot of land of less than five acres. Thomas works essentially by himself, from planting and maintaining the vines to loading up his truck and delivering cases of wine to restaurants and wine stores in the Portland area."

Year after year, the Cahill Lane Pinot Noir offers a consistently delicious red, full of red fruit along with floral and spice notes plus a silky, elegant texture.
Stephen Hansel has this to say about Cahill Lane's Pinot Noir: "A blend of 3 clones, clone 114, clone 115, and the Rochioli Pommard clone, are grown each on its own one acre site. The vines were planted in 1989 and are in their peak, quality wise. The Rochioli pommard and the clone 115 contribute red berry and cherry flavors and the clone 114 adds a dimension of herbal flavors giving Cahill Lane an Old world character."

While the Estate Pinot Noir from Walter Hansel utilizes barrels of Pinot from a variety of Hansel-owned vineyards, the heart and soul (and a majority of the Pinot) is usually harvested by hand from the legendary Meadows vineyard. The result is a Pinot Noir that is very approachable yet complex even when young but can also reward you if cellared.

The review: "Fresh and aromatic, with green matcha tea, sea salt, lavender and melon notes to complement the pure macerated raspberry and juicy cherry fruit and generous velvety tannins. Gains complexity and nuance on the long finish. Drink now through 2027." Greywacke is the Marlborough label of Kevin Judd, and the fulfillment of a long held dream. Kevin was head winemaker at Cloudy Bay for many years and responsible for putting Cloudy Bay on the world wine map. It is so named in recognition of the high prevalence of rounded greywacke river stones found in the soils of the vineyard. Well made, well priced!
