2008 Arcadian Pinot Noir Francesca's Cuvee Santa Lucia Highlands (750ml)

"93 out of 100 - (made from a barrel each of Pisoni, Fiddlestix and Sleepy Hollow wine): Deep red. An exotically perfumed nose displays scents of raspberry, cherry-cola, pungent herbs, potpourri and smoky minerals. Fleshy and sweet but also sharply focused, with a suave floral accent to its red berry compote and spicecake flavors. Impressively lush and broad but lively, finishing with silky tannins and excellent floral-driven persistence. - Josh Raynolds, vinous.com
