Arnot-Roberts making a Bordeaux blend, and making it the way they make everything else: destemmed, native yeast, no new oak, nothing raised in volume. The 2023 is 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc and 21% Merlot from sites including Bedrock, Las Cimas and Persia, aged ten months split evenly between concrete tank and neutral French oak. Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts first put this wine together in 2021 as a way through vintages compromised by wildfire smoke, and it has since taken on a following of its own as the most casual bottle in a very serious lineup. 2023 gave California a long, cool growing season, and here that reads as freshness and lift rather than weight. Open it tonight with dinner — no cellar required.

"The 2023 California Red Wine is terrific. Dark, bold and savory, it has so much to offer. Black cherry, plum, dried herbs, licorice, menthol, gravel and bay leaf are dialed up. This feels like a very old-school red blend. At $50 a bottle, it is one of the best values in this range, and certainly the under-the-radar gem. I loved it." —Antonio Galloni

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.
