This one is past it's prime. The acid is taking center stage - not bad, but not what it should be. Heavy fig dominates with dark earthy bramble. Not much more as the acid dominates.

Bizarre bottle - think it was off. In fact this was by far the most disappointing David Arthur I've tasted. The nose was completely muted. Even after some air there wasn't much but some simple red berries, spice and light earth notes. The palate is also dull. Not a lot going on. Bad bottle I suppose. Just not DA quality juice.

Severe acid. Drinkable but not wonderful. Ok with food.

BLUEBERRIES, CHOCOLATE, AND COFFEE IN THE NOSE. DEEP BERRY FRUIT IN THE FLAVOR. MEDIUM LENGTH FINISH

Better with age, this wine has hit it's stride. Paired nicely with pasta in red clam sauce.
