Terrific! Nice earth, rose pedal, lavender, and cherry on the nose. Red fruits on the palate. Great balance of everything with plenty of acidity for meal. I really like how this is drinking now but there is no doubt will age gracefully for quite sometime. We need to buy more.

Big and forward. Has the fruit profile and structure of a Pinot, but comes across as almost syrah-like. Not sure this is ever going to get to the magic Arcadian place with age. Tasty, but not what I look for in a wine from Joe.

Very primary fruit and delicious, not giving much up on the nose. Lot's of cherry/ pomegranate and earth with good acid. Needs a number of years to shed the baby fat.

The youngest Arcadian I've drunk. Sweet red fruit on the nose. The palate has layers of red fruit and earth. The finish is incredibly long on this young wine. A joy to drink now.

BODY: clear, garnet color with slight bricking at the edges; color is of medium-light to medium depth. medium bodied.

Well balanced pinot with the Arcadian touch in a quite ripe vintage.

Drank in Hawaii, remember it being nice but not as nice as the Faiveley Corton Clos des Corton '98 we had alongside, maybe opened this too early?

Popped and poured. Wonderful. Fruity with a great backbone of tanins. Long, finish.
