Arterberry Maresh Dux Vineyard Chardonnay 2017

Bottled under Diam 30, the 2017 Chardonnay Dux Vineyard has an open nose of crushed stone, dried hay, tarragon, roasted hazelnuts, citrus blossoms and spring honey with notes of sliced mushrooms and a light framing of spice. Medium-bodied and silky, it gives layer after layer of ripe, spicy fruits refreshed by tangy acidity, finishing very long and minerally with tremendous tension. I can’t wait to taste this with a few years of bottle age! Drink date: 2020-2030. Score – 95+. (Erin Brooks, robertparker.com, April 23, 2020)
