Arnot Roberts California Red Wine 2021 750 ml

Description

Discover the Arnot Roberts California Red Wine 2021, a compelling red blend that channels the spirit of classic California winemaking. Crafted by Duncan Arnot and Nathan Roberts, this Bordeaux-style expression draws from exceptional sites across the state, blending tradition with the unique character of elevated terrains and historic grounds.

At its heart lies fruit from the storied Massa Vineyard, high at 1300 feet overlooking Carmel Valley, home to some of the area's earliest plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot on old vines. Complementary Cabernet arrives from Bedrock Vineyard in Sonoma Valley, carefully tended by Morgan Twain-Peterson, alongside selections from Gordenker Vineyard amid the volcanic red clay soils of Moon Mountain District. A touch of Cabernet Franc from Persia Vineyard rounds it out, nestled in the rocky volcanic soils of Chalk Hill AVA. Each vineyard contributes distinctly, harvested and handled with precision to preserve their individual voices before harmonious union.

This wine emerged as a creative response when 2020 Cabernets fell short due to smoke issues, stepping in as a temporary measure that quickly revealed deeper promise. What began as an enjoyable experiment has evolved into a standout red, earning acclaim with 95+ points from Vinous for its quality and potential.

Sipping it reveals vibrant aromas that dance with bold fruit presence and lively acidity at 12.5% ABV, all in a balanced 750 ml bottle. Ideal for those seeking a serious California red that tells a story of resilient craftsmanship and prime vineyard heritage, it invites pairing with robust meals or quiet contemplation. Secure your bottle of this limited gem and experience the payoff of visionary blending firsthand.
