The focus of Arnot-Roberts is to produce distinctive, site-driven wines that highlight the nature of the unique terroirs in which the grapes are grown. The journey to this end has led Duncan and Nathan to seek out vineyards throughout Northern California and now includes incredible sites in Napa Valley, Sonoma Coast, Santa Cruz Mountains, Santa Rita Hills, Clearlake and Sierra Foothills. Single-vineyard wines are the core of the production as well as a few appellation bottlings that clearly speak of their individual upbringings. 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.

The Sonoma Coast bottling is sourced from three distinctive vineyards of the coast. The Solas Vineyard at the edge of the Russian River Valley brings the warmth and backbone. Baker Lane receives regular fog and cool breezes, resulting in tiny, concentrated black berries, whilst the Que vineyard (“que sera, sera”) is a ‘true gem’ at elevation and exposed to the Pacific Ocean.

Aged in neutral, French oak for 11 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Whole-cluster fermentation, natural yeast.
