ARNOT-ROBERTS Chardonnay 'Watson Ranch' 2012

The Watson Ranch vineyard is perched on a steep hillside overlooking the San Pablo Bay in the southernmost end of the Napa Valley. It is a wind whipped site planted in 1993 on marine deposits over limestone. The soils are dry-farmed and extremely rare on the North Coast, lending itself perfectly to growing world class Chardonnay. The 2012 is absolutely gorgeous. Crisp and clean with beautiful aromas of lemon zest, fresh mineral, crushed almonds and freshly sliced pear. This is a Chardonnay that is all about elegance striking purity. This will be a pleasure to watch evolve for years to come. (Best 2014-2026) - February, 2014 (JD)
