Winemaker Andy Smith told me that 2007 was a great year for chardonnay. "We got budbreak in early March and were able to harvest much of the fruit in early October," he reported. "So there's great complexity thanks to the extended season. These are very rich wines, at least as powerful as the 2004s but with better acidity so they're built for aging." He said that while the '07 pinots have "extremely ample fruit, the finishes are strict and very long; they're made for cellaring, not for drinking young." The 2007 vintage marks the first release of DuMol's estate pinot noir, by the way.
