David Arthur Chardonnay Napa Valley 2019 (750ml)

Description

Winemaker Notes

A golden straw color with tints of green offers aromas of ripe Bartlett pear and Fuji apple. There is a freshness to the fruit as well as notes of lemon rind, pineapple and white fig. The oak spice is subtle with vanilla bean crème brulee notes. The palate is broad and expansive yet a mineral acidity balances the texture while flavors of white peach, green apple skin and kiwi carry the length of the palate.

Critical Acclaim

JD 93Jeb DunnuckShowing a slightly cloudy, gold color (it was probably bottled unfiltered), the 2019 Chardonnay Napa Valley has a classic, richer Chardonnay nose of buttered citrus, honeysuckle, toasted bread, flower oil, and a kiss of background oak. Beautifully textured on the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied and has a layered texture, followed by a great finish.JS 93James SucklingSmoky and toasty aromas on the nose with praline, hawthorn, ripe nectarine and dried pineapple. It’s full-bodied with bright acidity. Balanced layers of ripe-fruit, toast and hazelnut flavors. Drink or hold.RP 92Robert Parker’s Wine AdvocateThe 2019 Chardonnay rolls effortlessly out of the glass with notes of ripe pears, honeydew melon and yellow apples with hints toasted almonds, nutmeg and beeswax candles. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers crunchy apple and pear flavors with a lively backbone and satiny texture, finishing on a savory note.
