Absolutely incredible. The Vineyardist is one of my favorite Napa producers. This 2017 Calarcadia is drinking excellent now. Dark ruby. High alcohol barely noticeable. Red and black fruit. Perfectly ripe and perfectly balanced with chalky tannins. Graphite, pencil shavings, fantastic mouthfeel and oh what a long finish. Incredible effort for a tough 2017. — 5 months ago
@David L Thanks bud for the incredible hookup! I've never had this wine. It's a stunning 2010 which is a vintage that I do. It have a lot of. Pop and poured and am letting evolve in the glass. I'll revisit my notes at the end of the night. Right off the bat......,this is better than the 06 Buccella that we had the other night. A little tight but a freakishly long finish. Big lush mouthfeel., some tannins that I think will integrate over time and beautiful dark lush fruit prancing on my palate.

Fantastic wine! Big blue fruit up front, black as well, with great sweetness and nice minerality. Beautiful finish! Give it an hour decant and enjoy! — 3 years ago

Same comments. Ripe fruit forward. Super soft tannins, silky in the mouth. Very smooth drinking. — a month ago
