Nice big Napa cab. Drinking well right from the bottle, nice fruit concentration, firm but elegant tannins, and I'm sure this will improve with air or more time in the cellar. Nice texture as well.

DAVID ARTHUR TASTING with David Long (TWO CHEFS, MIAMI, FL): The wine looks Purple colored. The legs are Slow. It smells like Blackberry, Blueberry, Black currant (cassis), and Violet. The body is Medium/Full. The wine has Polished texture. The wine finishes Long. Elegant as all David Arthu Wines appear to be.

tasted from barrel. vanilla bean, espresso and cola on the nose. well balanced, supple and smooth. highly restrained at this stage. another example of 2010s stellar potential which may very well rival 2007. will be an instant classic!

Wow! The winery allowed for a barrel tasting 2010. Big vanilla, rich chocolate, espresso expressions penetrate the nose. Mid palate is very smooth for a wine this young age! Tones of clove and vanilla on the palate. Soft but firm tannins.
