I organized this Arcadian tasting because they are one of my favorite domestic producers. Sadly, the wines could have showed better. The Pinot noir's were particularly disappointing.
2008 Arcadian Chardonnay Sleepy Hollow Vineyard 92 Points
USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Lucia Highlands
Decanted 1 hour. This was was surprisingly vibrant with acidity. It also had a lemon, beeswax, minerality thing, with a small amount of oak. I like the balance here. I'm wondering if the higher acidity is due to decanting, which I didn't do for the previous 8 bottles I had.

2010 Arcadian Chardonnay Clos Pepe Vineyard 91 Points
USA, California, Central Coast, Sta. Rita Hills
Decanted 1 hour. This chardonnay had the same vibrant acidity as the 2008 Arcadian Sleepy Hollow. It had a little more golden fruit, and a little less complexity. The same lemon and beeswax persist on the finish.
