We have an exciting, brand new red wine from California to share with you – 2021 Arnot-Roberts Red Wine!
Arnot-Roberts was founded by childhood friends, Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts, who grew up in Napa Valley. After finishing college, they decided to pursue their passion by working in winemaking at several renowned wineries in California. They actually began with one barrel of wine made in their basement.
Founded in 2001, Arnot-Roberts continues to not just bottle incredible wines, but create new ones! Their inaugural release of 2021 Arnot-Roberts Red Wine is delicious, scoring 95+ points from Antonio Galloni of Vinous Media. This wine combines old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from Massa and Bedrock Vineyards with some Cab Franc from the volcanic cobble of the Chalk Hill AVA. Galloni seems to LOVE this wine and sets its maturity until 2041.
"The resulting wine is 12.5% alcohol and is vibrantly aromatic, supported by punchy fruit and fresh acidity. We crafted this wine to pair well with food and be ready to drink upon release but we also see that it has strong potential for positive development with some time in the bottle." – Arnot-Roberts
"Duncan Arnot and Nathan Roberts presented an absolutely stellar collection of wines this year. The 2021s are simply magnificent from top to bottom… Readers will also want to check out the new Red Wine California, a special bottling that hopefully will become part of the permanent lineup."
We have very limited quantities of this Bordeaux-based, 95+ point wine, priced at $64.99. Most of this wine’s production went to mailing list clients and restaurants, with just a handful of stores getting small allocations, trading up to $79.99. Act quickly on ordering this as we don’t expect it to last long!
Cheers!
