ABOUT THE WINE
Crafted by DuMol, “Eddie’s Patch” is a single-vineyard Syrah sourced from a distinctive site in the Russian River Valley. The 2016 vintage reflects both the concentration and balance that define DuMol’s vineyard-focused approach, producing a wine of power, freshness, and remarkable detail.
Inspired by traditional Rhône Valley Syrah, the wine emphasizes savory complexity alongside ripe dark fruit. Blackberry, plum, and blueberry flavors are layered with smoked herbs, cured meat, black pepper, and earthy undertones. Thoughtful oak aging adds subtle notes of cedar, cocoa, and baking spice while preserving the wine’s purity and structure.
The vineyard’s cool-climate influence allows the fruit to retain freshness and aromatic lift, contributing to the wine’s precision and aging potential. Careful farming and low-intervention cellar practices help highlight site expression, texture, and natural balance. With time in bottle, the wine continues to evolve toward greater nuance and savory complexity.
An excellent pairing for grilled lamb, braised beef, wild mushrooms, duck confit, or smoked meats, “Eddie’s Patch” also complements hard aged cheeses and herb-driven dishes beautifully.
