Reviews of 1998 Arthur, David Cabernet Sauvignon
91 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
December 2000
There are only a few hundred cases of this 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon. Extremely ripe notes of prunes, blackberries, and currants intertwine with coffee and chocolate in this surprisingly dense, low acid, concentrated 1998. A dense ruby/plum/purple color is accompanied by a full-bodied, unctuously-textured, fully mature wine. I am not sure it possesses the structure necessary for extended aging, but it will provide immense pleasure over the next 10-15 years.

Dark, rich, intense and focused, with ripe, spicy currant, plum and black cherry fruit, plus shadings of herb and cedar. Turns a touch prickly, with a slight vinegary edge...
About 1998 Arthur, David Cabernet Sauvignon
About the Winery Arthur, David
Looking down over Napa Valley from the apex of David Arthur Vineyards,
planted
at elevations between 1,100 and 1,200 feet above sea
level, the vine rows
circle and race down the hills merging into a sea of
green on the valley floor.
Exhilarating, not always predictable, but ending well,
it is a metaphor of David Arthur
Vineyards.
The people of David Arthur Vineyards brim with energy and heart,
which they pour into the hilltop land that is their legacy.
The venture
was named after David's two grandfathers David and Arthur.
David's
father and mother, Don and Anne, planted the first seed
of this
small winery by gifting David and his two brothers each
350 acres. "I
recognize that I am privileged to have been given the
property," David
said, "but I have worked hard to make it what it is today."
About the Wine
David Arthur's Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from three distinctive vineyard blocks. The aromas are incredibly sensuous with dark mulled spices, floral notes, earthy aromas and a dense cassis-blackberry fruit core. The palate is bold and full-bodied, yet focused with layer after
layer of expansion on a long finish.
