Ryan has long occupied the most immediately generous end of DuMOL’s Pinot Noir spectrum, and the 2024 leans fully into that identity. This vintage brings together equal portions of Dr. Galante Estate Vineyard and MacIntyre Estate Vineyard, two Russian River Valley sites that give the wine contrasting personalities. Dr. Galante contributes darker, supple wild-berry character, while MacIntyre brings a brighter, more coastal expression. Together they create a Pinot Noir centered on the remarkable fruit purity DuMOL associates with its small corner of Green Valley. The 2024 vintage gave both vineyards the conditions to build concentration without losing lift. Wild raspberry, blackberry, and red and black cherry form the core, joined by olive tapenade, truffle, and woodsy underbrush. More coastal notes of iodine and kelp add another layer, while the wine remains medium-bodied and energetic despite its depth. DuMOL sees this as one of the most fruit-forward wines of the vintage, but the freshness underneath keeps that generosity precise rather than heavy. The cellar work is equally measured. The wine spent 11 months in 228-liter French oak barrels, 35% new, before being blended and finished for another three months in tank. Only 1,200 cases were produced. Ryan is built to be especially expressive near release, yet DuMOL expects the 2024 to develop gracefully for more than a decade, with a recommended drinking window extending through 2038.
