The Winery

Arnot Roberts

Arnot-Roberts is one of the most exciting young wineries in California, or anywhere for that matter. Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts have put together a compelling set of wines that highlight the personalities of some of the cooler-climate sites in Northern California.
–Antonio Galloni

Founded in 2001 by childhood friends from Healdsburg, California, Arnot-Roberts was a natural path for barrel cooper Nathan Lee Roberts and winemaker Duncan Arnot Meyers. The two focus on small lot, singe vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir with some uncommon varieties including Trousseau, Falanghina, and Sylvaner. The first commercial vintage for the duo was in 2002, and they continue to source their fruit from well-dispersed vineyards throughout the Napa and Sonoma counties in AVAs such as Santa Cruz Mountains, Napa Valley, and Clear Lake. Because Arnot-Roberts produces only around 5,000 cases annually of around 17 different wines, many of the wines are allocated directly to the estate mailing list and are difficult to acquire.

Tasting Notes

V93
Opaque ruby. Pungent cherry-cola, mulberry, licorice and dark chocolate on the nose, plus a zesty note of cracked pepper. Sweet, sappy and full-bodied but lithe, with deep dark berry preserve, cherry compote and chocolate flavors complemented by a hint of licorice and a subtle cola note. Finishes with outstanding lingering sweetness and fine, dusty tannins. This wine gained energy with aeration and should be a fine cellar candidate.
