About Vincent Arroyo Winery
Vincent Arroyo, originally a Silicon Valley mechanical engineer, moved out to Calistoga in 1974 and began his winemaking journey. Though gradually becoming a family affair, Vince has always had a hand in the growing and fermentation despite passing the reins to some degree to his daughter Adrian and her husband Matt. With seven different varieties, from Petite Sirah (his mainstay) to Sangiovese to Merlot, the Vincent Arroyo Winery has been a constant in the Napa Valley scene.

Take ‘Em To The Bridge

TASTING NOTES:
2013 - “The 2013 Bridge 1904 Chardonnay is a crisp, full-bodied, and well balanced white wine. It is produced using whole cluster pressing; entire grape bunches are pressed very gently to extract the juice…” (AbV 14.38%, pH 3.23, TA 8.1)

2014 - “Distinct aromas of lemon zest, tart white peach and crisp pear show generously in this refreshing and focused cool-climate Chardonnay. Driven by fruit intensity, lasting lemon minerality and bright acidity, the Chardonnay walks the ideal line between delicacy and weight.” (AbV 14.3%)

BARRELS
Sur lie fermented in 100% new French Oak, and the 2013 at least was finished in stainless steel.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
In music, particularly rock and pop, a “bridge” is a short section toward the halfway or 3/4 point of the song that links two other sections. Usually it has some contrast to the previous section, such as a time signature or key change. Previous section tends to be a chorus, but anything from a guitar solo to a break to just another chorus could be on the other side.
