Arnot-Roberts, Cabernet Sauvignon Fellom Ranch Santa Cruz, 2010
Arnot-Roberts helped redefine what California Cabernet could taste like, and this bottle from a ridgetop vineyard near the top of Monte Bello Road shows why they earned a near-cult following. Fellom Ranch sits at roughly 2,200 feet in the Santa Cruz Mountains, on a complex mosaic of Franciscan chert, sandy loam, clay, and serpentine that lends real structure and site character. Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts work in a restrained, elegant register, favoring balance and lower alcohol over power, a nod to the great California reds made before the era of high extraction. At fifteen years on, the 2010 is drinking in a mature window, its tannins resolved and its aromatics turned savory and complex. Decant it and give it a real meal.
