"The 2000 Pinot Noir offers up notes of cloves, raspberries, cinnamon, and beet roots followed by medium to full body, excellent fruit purity, and a luscious texture. Although some tannin needs to be resolved, this is a serious Cotes de Nuits look-alike meant for aging. This is a strong effort, but like all of DuMol's offerings it is restrained and builds incrementally, as opposed to being a showy, flamboyant, sexy fruit bomb. Don't misunderstand me. It is loaded with fruit, but it is held in check by vibrant acid levels and a subtle, but pure winemaking style."
