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.

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)

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.

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

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.
