Tasting note

The 2008 Chardonnay Estate Arthur was fermented half in stainless steel and half in 30% new oak with only the latter going through malolactic fermentation. Medium straw-colored, it exhibits a nose of mineral, pear, spiced apple, and white peach. Vibrant on the palate with lively acidity and a sense of elegance, this nicely balanced, Chablis-like offering will drink nicely over the next several years. Score - 90.

This dry and straw yellow coloured white showcases a complex nose releasing floral, fruity and mineral scents. You will be charmed with this medium-bodied wine revealing a broad texture and a long finish.

Citrus, floral attractive nutty lees nose with light vanilla aromas. Fresh, crisp, juicy but creamy palate with green apple, waxy, nutty, butterscotch, spicy, nectarine skin and pea shoot flavours with a citrusy finish. Good intensity but still youthful and will continue to improve in bottle. Perfect with fresh halibut. Arthur is made from 100% Dijon clones that were first planted in Oregon in 1992.
