DuMol has one of my favorite Pinots. Great balance, but enough complexity to hold up to various meals or stand on its own. This one might have been a little young, but can't complain about opening it right now

2004 Favia Pinot Noir La Josefina Russian River Valley (view label images)

La Josefina is one of the most consistent wines we have had. Each vintage is unique, but taste and finish are always incredible. Eating tonight with roast chicken, sweet potatoes and green salad, so even goes well with lighter meals. Fantastic!

Great nose and finish, and full enough to stand up to nice Grilled Red Snapper with a big Jerk Marinade

Delicious. Nice complexity and complete finish. May need another couple years, but nothing wrong with drinking it now

Jammy and smooth. Less acidic than many zins, and less spicy (in a good way). Delicious. Held up well to relatively rich burgers but is also nice without food. Highly recommended, especially at the price. Also, if you get the chance to visit the vineyard it's worth the trip.

Really like this vintage of DuMol. Chloe is no slouch. Probably could use a year or two more in storage, but still a nice rich deep white.

It was a very nice cab to drink with a steak dinner. I hoped for a little more complexity, but unfortunately didn't get it. I don't think it will get better with age. Probably best to drink now

Sweet, almost tropical. Soft mouth feel. Good, but not for those who prefer cleaner and crisper
