DuMol Clare Chardonnay 2015, from Napa Valley’s Carneros, is a 100% Chardonnay sourced from the Hyde Vineyard’s clay-rich soils. The nose unveils a vibrant bouquet of green apple, pear, and lemon zest, layered with flint, brioche, and subtle oak spice. The palate is full-bodied, with crisp acidity and a mineral-driven core, delivering flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and a hint of hazelnut. Aged for 14 months in French oak (40% new), it offers a refined, lingering finish with excellent aging potential. Perfect for pairing with grilled seafood, roasted poultry, or soft cheeses, this Chardonnay reflects DuMol’s artisanal precision and single-vineyard focus. The 2015 vintage, known for its intensity and balance, produced a wine of remarkable complexity, offering a sophisticated Carneros white for enthusiasts seeking elegance and minerality. Its harmonious flavor profile and structured finesse make it a standout choice for collectors, capturing the essence of Hyde Vineyard’s iconic terroir.
