Arnot-Roberts was founded in 2001 by Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts, childhood friends who grew up in Napa Valley, both sons of winemakers. They work with approximately 30 growers across California, focused on cool-climate sites and heritage varieties. The Montecillo Vineyard sits at 1,000-1,200 feet elevation in the Bennett Valley area of Sonoma County, planted to Cabernet Sauvignon in 1964—one of the oldest Cabernet plantings in Sonoma, on its own roots. The site receives cooling influence from the Petaluma Gap. Arnot-Roberts is known for a restrained, non-interventionist approach: whole-cluster fermentation, native yeast, neutral oak, and minimal additions. The wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered with low SO2. A benchmark California Cabernet for those seeking elegance over extraction.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Montecillo Vineyard is a very hard wine to taste today. Lean and compact, the Montecillo reflects a decision to pick early. That's a tough call, as the alternative was to lose the entire crop. Red fruit, iron, cedar and white pepper struggle to open in the glass. I look forward to tasting this in another few years' time. Today, the 2022 is vegetal and lacking in site character." —Antonio Galloni

"The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Montecillo Vineyard comes from own-rooted vines planted in 1964 at 1,700 feet in elevation, and grapes were harvested on August 30. Matured for 22 months in 15% new French oak, it has pure aromas of black cherry and currant, tobacco, green pepper, garrigue and graphite. The light-bodied palate is delicately styled with modest, 12% alcohol and crunchy, pleasantly herbal flavors. It’s framed by muscular, chalky tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long, refreshing finish. It should be long lived in the cellar." —Erin Brooks

More about Arnot-Roberts

Childhood friends Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts made their first wine together in 2001 and helped kick off what came to be called the New California wine. Working from Healdsburg, they seek out cool, maritime-influenced vineyards across the state and make about two dozen small lots a year, often from uncommon varieties, with low intervention and alcohol in the 11 to 13 percent range. Restrained, elegant wines that nod to pre-Parker California.

Aging

23 months in French oak, 30% new
