Drouhin Chardonnay Dundee Hills Arthur 2018

93 points Wine & Spirits: "The Drouhins have been making chardonnay in Burgundy for many generations, and they often carry that influence into the chardonnays from their two Oregon properties. However, in 2018, the wines feel unleashed, brash, juicy, exuberant and forward. Arthur, their largest production, has scents of orange peel and litchi, its flavors generous and juicy, its texture broad but energetic. After a day, the fruit becomes still more pronounced, more pineapple and spiced apple, framed with judicious oak, a procession that suggests this wine will have more to say with some more cellar time. (Oct 2020)"

93 points James Suckling: "Very attractive, fresh, spiced white peaches and a gently citrusy thread, leading to a palate that has rich textural presence and a spicy overlay, across grilled white peaches. Long, complete and very drinkable already. (1/30/20)"

92 points Wine Spectator: "Polished and vibrant, with a lush texture, this offers Asian pear, green apple and spice flavors that fan out on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2021. (2021)"

92 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2018 Chardonnay Arthur offers loads of floral perfume on the nose, with touches of baker's yeast beeswax and apricots. The medium-bodied palate is silky, fresh and expansive, with loads of honeyed fruits and a very long, layered finish. Drink: 2020-2025. (Dec 2020)"

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "Hewing to a well-established style of Burgundian elegance, the latest Arthur shows pinpoint fruit-acid balance. The fruits are a lovely blend of apples, lemons and satsuma oranges, with good energy resonating around a firm core. Delicious now, this should age well over the next half decade. Alcohol 14.1%.
