2015 | DuMOL | Wild Mountainside Syrah

The Wild Mountainside Syrah is grown exclusively in high-elevation mountain vineyards, where the vines struggle to produce small crops of truly unique character and incredible quality.The wine itself is inky and concentrated. Blackberry, boysenberry and blueberry fruit characters dominate both aromas and palate. There’s vibrant grapefruit zest, floral lilac, wild thyme and roasted meat characters. The fruit is plush and deep, but there’s always a sense of mountain precision and detail. A savory ferrous note adds intrigue to the full-bodied, chewy palate but the wine remains fine and polished throughout.

Producer Information

DuMOL is an acclaimed and sought-after small producer based in Sonoma County's Russian River Valley in California. It makes a selection of site-expressive wines from the Russian River and Sonoma Coast predominantly from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Small lots of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc and (probably most unusually) Mencia are also grown and produced from top vineyard sites in Sonoma and Napa. The business is based in Windsor, nine miles north of Santa Rosa. There are currently six estate vineyards, and over two decades DuMOL has developed strong relations with some of the state's top growers to source or farm fruit on contract from over 20 further sites. Most of the wines are single-vineyard bottlings. These are released via allocations to DuMOL's consumer mailing list and to select restaurants around the world. The Highland Divide label is used for multi-vineyard blends of estate-grown Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. These wines are designed to be fruit-forward and drinkable on release. The name describes the zone which divides the valley floor of the Russian River from the Sonoma Coast, regarded as the optimal grapegrowing location. DuMOL also offers their Wester Reach label with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to select restaurants and retailers. The small production team is lead by winemaker, viticulturalist and partner Andy Smith. He has been with DuMOL since 1997.
