2022 DuMOL 'Ryan' Pinot Noir - Jentoft Vineyard, Russian River Valley

The wine's aromas and flavors are akin to red and black cherry, briary wild berries, pomegranate, dried rose, pepper and licorice.  Significant umami notes develop with time, and it offers a chewy core of fruit on a lovely expanding palate.  Despite its obvious richness, there's polish and definition to the flavors and structure.  The wine turns spicy and savory on its long finish.  Drink between late-2024 and 2032.
