bouquet gives olive juice, dried rosemary, figs, dried cranberry, wood, some balsamic...good subtle tannins here,,,, overall we get dry soil, herbed meat and blackberries illuminated by a strong core of acidity. — 10 years ago
Wow. Fresh.
The nose has layers of disciplined fruit.
Nothing crazy, very textbook good.
Bright. IlLuminated salted berries, persimmon, ripe, yet not to much, plum, hints of melon. Perfect acidity to stave (Ha!) off the oak.
This is an amazing BDX blend, and so worth the price.
No candied over cloying here.
This is a good expression.

The 2013 David Arthur Chardonnay Napa Valley is a slight green-golden hue offers bright and illuminated aromas of kiwi, Asian pear and Golden delicious apple, followed by white peach, citrus blossom and light hints of toasted almonds. The palate is soft, plush and full throttle with layers of citrus, candied apple, poached pear. The finish projects a subtle minerality. #davidarthur #chardonnay #napa #winelover #winespectrum #wine #wino #vino #cheers #instawine — 11 years ago
