The brilliant 2004 Pinot Noir Finn reveals sweet black cherry, forest floor, and subtle mint and smoke aromas, a meaty richness, and broad, savory, full-bodied flavors. This stunning red should drink well for a decade. As I said last year, DuMol is one of my favorite wineries, primarily because of the passion and commitment to quality of owner Kerry Murphy and his winemaker, Andy Smith.Previously recommended: 2003 Chardonnay Chloe (94+), 2003 Chardonnay Isobel (94), 2003 Pinot Noir Finn (93), 2003 Pinot Noir Ryan (90+), 2003 Syrah Eddie’s Patch (95).Tel.
