Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
The dark nearly opaque color has lifted and high tone aromas of baked currants and dark cherry compote, followed by subtlevanilla-toffee oak spices and lavender like floral tones. The palate is full throttle and massively structured offering a layering of fine grained tannins and density. Flavors of anise and espresso bean followed baked cassis and blackberry finish on the palate with along persistent finish. Best from 2015-2035.
Professional Ratings
-
James Suckling
A wine with blackberry and chocolate character. Full body, chewy tannins and a long finish. Shows mountain fruit style. Serious finish.
-
Wine Spectator
An intense and elegant red, with a solid core of crushed rock earthiness supporting the dried berry, sage, underbrush and cedar notes. Distributes the flavors in an evenhanded manner. Drink now through 2025.

David Arthur Vineyards was founded in 1985 by brothers David and Bob Long. Over a glass of wine, with his father, David discovered his father had purchased Napa Valley property in the late 1950s. David relocated to Napa Valley in 1977 and began to learn the wine business literally from the ground up, serving internships at Chappellet, Joseph Phelps and Schramsberg. In 1978 and 1979, David cleared the land and in 1980, planted the first grapes. David Arthur Vineyards' first vintage was the 1985 Chardonnay. The first red wine, Meritaggio, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Sangiovese, followed in 1992. In 1996, David Arthur Vineyards began producing their now renowned Elevation 1147, named one of the top Cabernets of 1997 by Wine Spectator.
