I didn't care much for Arcadian's '01 Fiddlestix, but with the '02, they've hit the mark, producing a Pinot that appeals for its broad, pretty fruit and supple tannins. It's enjoyable now for the ripe cherries, raspberries, tangerines and vanilla cream flavors, but the acids and tannins are such that, even though it's more than four years old, it still has another six to eight years ahead.
