About Dolum Estates
Dolum Estates is named for an invented word that bridges two historical references: the Latin dolium (the large clay amphora the Romans used to store and ship wine, the ancient wine vessel whose shape influenced the barrel and bottle that followed) and the English dole (to distribute generously, to share out abundantly). Dolum declares wine as a generous act of distribution from an ancient vessel tradition.
The Howell Mountain and Rutherford estate produces Cabernet Sauvignon from volcanic mountain and benchland vineyard sources with the ancient-vessel-generosity philosophy the invented name implies. Wine Advocate has scored Dolum's Howell Mountain and Rutherford Cabernets at 91–94 points.
