David Arthur Vineyards
A light golden hue with aromas of baked apple, ripe pear and citrus are woven together with subtle notes of toasted chestnuts and light caramel. The palate entry is rich and sweet with layers of fresh apples, peras and white figs. A gentile acidity balances the rich fruit concentration, finishing with a long and bright intensity.
Wine Spectator
Ripe and sweet-tasting, this full-bodied Chardonnay shows fresh, vibrant tangerine, fig and melon fruit, ending with an effusively fruit aftertaste. Drink now through 2012. Score: 91 - James Laube, 2009.

The Story
The history of David Arthur Vineyards and the Long Family in the Napa Valley reaches back a half-century to the 1950s. At that time, Donald Long began steadily investing in land on Pritchard Hill. He owned a small grocery business in Menlo Park, and had long been interested in and drawn to the California wine industry. His vision and commitment to build a legacy and business for his family led to the acquisition of nearly 1,000 acres. Nearly two decades later, in the late 1970s, that vision came to fruition when his son David began planting vines on the property. Today, two generations work together to continue the family tradition at David Arthur Vineyards.
