February 8, 2016 - Darkish golden colored. I found this to be very oaky/buttery, verging on buttered popcorn. Very big. Not my thing when it comes to chardonnay.

December 25, 2015 - Citrus, nuts, toast, a bit oxidative on the nose. Rich lemon, a bit of ripe citrus sweetness, slight nutty character. Very nice.

April 29, 2013 - I like the Arcadian Sleepy Hollow just a bit more. But, this was delightful. Lemon for the citrus, crisp apple for fruit and fine acid. I think there was more vanilla/oak than on the SH. Opened up nicely as the evening wore on. I had this with porcini filled pasta pockets with a light cream sauce. Paired beautifully.

February 4, 2013 - This initially seemed over the hill, but it took on weight and body with some air. Drink the other bottle before 2014, but give some air.

January 1, 2013 - A little big and blowzy for an Arcadian on its own, but a perfect pairing for scallops seared in butter. Really shows off the minerally core against the richness of the dish. Yum. (But not as a cocktail wine)
