  February 24, 2024 - 1st of 3 bottles purchased on relase from the winery, ~90 mins slow ox. Interesting nose shows sour red cherries, smoke, clay and cigar. Plenty of soft and well-resolved tannins provide a dry, lengthy finish and lots of backbone. This packs a genteel punch in its resolve and depth of fruit that comes across much darker than id have gathered from the nose.
  
  While I have long been a Dumol fan, I have a little experience with Jentoff and have to imagine this is just beginning to enter the heart of its drinking window.
  
  Cheers

  August 16, 2023 - Blood orange big time! Lot as of good intensity of flavor. Mouth feel is silky and full but not heavy !
  Needs a few years (2) to find its self. This is a unique Ryan at this stage but I am anticipating an improvement in the near future.

  June 30, 2023 - Pop and pour into a decanter. In the glass, youthful magenta at the rim, shading to deep violet-red at the core. On the nose, raspberries, cherries, and restrained spice mated with a silky, lush texture, rolling into a smooth, balanced finish. The Ryan always delivers, year in and year out.

  May 24, 2022 - Best of the DuMol 2017 Pinots in my opinion. Punchy blue fruits with slightly spicy element, nice balance and a great finish. Has an excellent structure and the stuffing to go another year or two, but to my liking right now, with a bit of air. Bravo DuMol.

  November 28, 2021 - Medium body, dark robe. Some slight unintegrated wood and tannin, which did not appear in the 2018 we compared side by side.
