Our last Dumol allocations I was able to get my hands on sold out in under 90 minutes. So if you’re the racing type or already know what’s in these bottles, skip down to the buy button as there are only 42 bottles of each to spread around.
Coffee Lane is in a very small but magical nook stretched across a set of ridgetop east-facing plateaus in the Green Valley. Many assume it’s the Goldridge soil there that creates such rich, textured Pinot Noir and that’s true, BUT Coffee Lane also has one of the densest plantings in all of Northern California. Vines here are forced to dig deep and stay compact. Their clusters are small and tight and the resulting wine incredibly concentrated.
Coffee Lane is part of a quartet of vineyard parcels that stretch across a set of ridgetop east-facing plateaus in the Green Valley west of Highway 116. With its classic Goldridge soil, this particular parcel is ideal for growing naturally rich, beautifully textured Pinot Noir.
The vineyard’s extremely high density planting – 3,630 vines per acre, among the most densely planted vineyards in Northern California – ensures the vines stay small, their roots deep, their clusters small and incredibly concentrated and vibrant.

The 2020 Pinot Noir DuMOL Estate Vineyard is resinous with pine, forested earth, and kirsch. The palate has another gear of intensity and is full with ripe tannins and a long finish. The palate gives way to cherry pit, rocky soil, and spice. Hold for a few years and drink over the following 15 or more years.

Medium ruby-purple, the 2020 Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard is fragrant and floral, with blueberry, cranberry and pomegranate fruit and wafts of dried violet and tangerine peel. The medium-bodied palate is surprisingly concentrated with ripe, fragrant fruit. It has a grainy, refreshing frame and a long finish loaded with floral perfume. So expressive!
It’s hard to beat a great value white wine and this one is a at least a cut above the rest. One prominant industry insider called the 2020 edition, “the best white wine by any within $20/cs of this price.” It’s super crisp with a great mineral streak, and was carefully picked by hand when the temperature is coolest and is kept cool all the way into the press. From there, the effect of the mineral soil takes over, providing great finesse and freshness in every bottle. This white blend has great backbone and a lot of juicy fruit coming through behind aromas of flowers and stone fruits. At this price, it’s a no brainer.
Glistening pale yellow-green to the rim, infused with mouth-watering aromas of ripe apple, pear and quince, and crushed almonds with honey and rich creamy middle and a fantastic rush of acidity and minerality that are present throughout. A calling card of Bonhomme’s Vire-Clesse, if you closed your eyes and took a sip, it would have you convinced you were drinking Meursault at least a 3x price tag.
The 2016 vintage in Napa was nearly perfect for winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val). With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the famous vineyard located in the coveted Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated, known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and the big A list names that routinely source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.
The sandy soil of north Piemonte is home to the appellation Roero and the indigenous variety, Arneis. Stefano Almondo is a master of the rare variety, crafting aromatic and mineral wines that rival any of the best white wines in Italy. The newly released 2021 Vigne Sparse dazzles right out of the bottle; floral and fruity with juicy peaches and apricots yet with a chalky mineral streak as well. As always, it’s such a complex white and the kicker is its finish which goes on for a minute of pure joy.
