This is good, good fruit. But honestly John Benedetti don’t filter your wines this much… it rips out the elegance and layers on this. It also wrecks the layers of depth. It’s a good wine but after having your wines with less filtration I feel stronger in my feelings.
Edit: I have been having Arcangeli wines for over 8 years now, and this is quite fine. But I stand by my earlier point, which is a nitpick. But I nitpick because I know the potential is there
