Arnot-Roberts, Cabernet Sauvignon Clajeux Vineyard, 2018
Arnot-Roberts, founded in 2001 by childhood friends Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts, has become one of California's most influential producers of site-driven wines that eschew overripeness for elegance and precision. Clajeux Vineyard, on a steep volcanic hillside overlooking a secluded valley in Chalk Hill, has been their exclusive source since 2003—14 rows that consistently yield their most refined Cabernet Sauvignon, delivering incredible depth of color alongside streamlined tannins and acidity. The 2018 integrates 30% whole-cluster stems that add savory complexity, aged to show the vineyard's character of dark cherry, plum, gravel, scorched earth, and leather. The result is powerful yet remarkably fresh and present on the palate, with well-structured tannins that promise evolution without ever losing sight of the terroir. This is Cabernet built for long cellaring and patient appreciation.
