Love the backstory, this is my second bottle from 90+ (first Pinot). Both have been quite good.
This one opened with lots of mineral, almost metallic tasting, but after 10 minutes that was all gone and left behind was beautiful fruit, lots of bright cherry and raisins. Light easy nose and body, it's not a very substantial wine but fantastic with chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, and easy to sip on the rest of evening. — 8 years ago
Light fruit of melon and strawberry, low acid and easy minerality makes this a crisp refreshing and not overly dry wine... And I am loving it! — 7 years ago

Really big fan. Bright and crisp with plenty of body. Great balance of fruit and mineral. Great value for the price. — 8 years ago
That is so good! Crisp and complex with great acidity and minimality. This is a bottle worth finding, and stocking up on. — 7 years ago
Interesting and different, definitely not a typical Napa Chardonnay. Lightly sweet with some tart characteristics, but not a fresh wine either. No butter to speak of. This is a unique wine that is enjoyable by both fans and detractors of California style Chardonnay. — 8 years ago
So smooth and balanced. Plenty of body, but not so overwhelming you need food with it. — 8 years ago

Overpriced or underwhelming for the price, but that's Arrington for you. Drinks well with roasted meat (we had lamb) and hearty vegetables. Nice and dry with solid tannins and great body. — 7 years ago
