Arnot-Roberts was founded in 2001 in Healdsburg, California by childhood friends Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts. The focus of this two person operation is on small lot, single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir, as well as several other varieties uncommon in Northern Californian vineyards. The vineyard is characterized by long slow flavor development in the grapes and naturally low yields. Fermented 30% whole cluster and aged 22 months in 30% new French oak barrels hand crafted by Nathan Roberts.

Light, red fruit, juicy and a little crunchy. Very tasty.

Lively, bright acid, tart greens, but integrated (w age?). Like a fog laden cherry or fig orchard. Sweets rolled off by a wet stone rushing creek sort of minerality. Like a rainbow trout dudded out in mountain wear. Has style, marks its time, and is perhaps a somewhat ideal take on CA coastal pinot. Santa Cruz mountains. Wow.
