  September 24, 2021 - Amazed to find one of these bottles tucked away in my seller. The year 2000 was a difficult vintage, but the good folks at Arrowood seem to have managed to make a WINE that survives time. Not overly aromatic, the wine shows cans of dried cherry, Sage, bitter sweet chocolate, and just a tad of earthiness… I would’ve expected much more… The wine as smooth as silk, the tannins are totally resolved, And on the pallet it’s in perfect balance explosion of fruit in the mid pallet and a beautiful long finish… I would never guess this to be a 21 year old wine —We don’t have that classic cedar, tobacco, earth — but I wouldn’t let this wine sit much more than the next two or three years… Wonderful, thank you Arrowood I am totally impressed — seems like a good value if you can find any of these bottles you won’t be disappointed.
