2013 DuMol Chardonnay Chloe Russian River...$51.99
Next Lowest price on Wine-Searcher is $62.29
The 2013 Chardonnay Chloe, which comes from two great vineyard sources, the Ritchie and Lorenzo, was treated similarly in terms of its aging 12 months on its lees, then four months in tank. Good acidity buttresses a relatively full-throttle, big, rich, honeyed wine, with plenty of apple blossom, orange marmalade, and pineapple notes. There is some underlying minerality as well. This should also drink well for at least a decade.

Absolutely sensational, the 2013 Chardonnay Isobel comes exclusively from the 32-year-old vines of the Charles Heintz Vineyard. Barrel-fermented and aged 13 months on its lees, then four months in tank, this wine offers up quintessential Chardonnay notes such as white peach, wet stones and hazelnut. It exhibits great acidity, a full-bodied, honeyed texture, superb purity, and a tightly coiled, crisp, zesty finish. It should be even better with another 6-12 months of cellaring and keep for a decade or more.

2013 DuMol Chardonnay Estate Russian River... $51.99
One hundred percent from the DuMOL estate, the 2013 Chardonnay Estate (which comes from a combination of the Hyde Wente clone and Mt. Eden selections) is treated similarly to the other cuvées. It emerges from one of the most tightly planted vineyards in Northern California (3,680 vines per acre vs. the typical 600 to 800). Terrific lemon oil, white peach, currant, quince and orange blossom are all present in this complex, citrusy, full-bodied Chardonnay that is built for aging 10-15 years.
