The 06 Arcadian Fiddlestix really turned my head a few months ago, and I've been very impressed with other vintages/vineyards by this producer, and so I was delighted to pick up these 04's at auction for just $25 each.
Not decanted in advance. Youthful red color. Restrained California sweetness true to Arcadian's trademark with very rich but not over the top red fruit, tons of spice as one would expect/hope for from this vineyard, and a generous quality mouthfeel. Drinks well right now but it's not yet at peak. I'll wait two years to open another but honestly think this wine has at least four to six more years to peak and could hold well beyond that. Excellent.
