Welcoming a fresh vintage from champions of distinctive, site-driven wines in the North Coast: Arnot-Roberts.
For the uninitiated Arnot-Roberts is brainchild of Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts. The focus of this project is to produce wines that highlight the nature of the unique terroirs in which the grapes are grown. Sites are located in Napa Valley, Sonoma Coast, Santa Cruz Mountains, Santa Rita Hills, Clearlake and Sierra Foothills.
Some of the vineyards are old and dry-farmed, some are newer plantings but all are farmed and cared for by passionate and conscientious growers, which is paramount to the fundamental goal of Arnot-Roberts: producing the most honest and expressive wines possible.
