duMOL
Details:
Founded in 1996, DuMOL is dedicated to crafting highly nuanced, vineyard-focused Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays from distinctive sites in the cool-climate Russian River Valley.
Winemaker, Viticulturist and Partner Andy Smith leads a small and experienced team at DuMOL, to craft wines of depth, clarity and elegance through attention to detail in the vineyards and vintage-specific winegrowing.
“As a ‘vineyard up’ winery, we remain very close to the ingredients, close to the vineyards. Our wine making technique is secondary to what we achieve in the field.”

A fully integrated approach to farming and winemaking, a seamless continuum. Each bottling is built in the vineyard. Soil types, microclimates, plant material, maturity levels, how the vines react to the growing conditions – there are so many detailed variables. The nuance, the depth and complexity of the fruit that results from those variables – that’ is the aim to achieve and translate to bottle: purity, vibrancy, freshness – intensity without heaviness.
