Arnot-Roberts, Cabernet Sauvignon Montecillo Sonoma, 2023
Old-vine, dry-farmed Cabernet from one of California's most extraordinary sites. Montecillo Vineyard sits at 1,700 feet on the ridge that divides Napa from the Sonoma Valley of the Moon — own-rooted Cabernet planted in 1964, making this one of Sonoma County's oldest Cabernet plantings. The soils are rocky and austere, the dry-farmed vines yield tiny concentrated berries, and Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts handle the fruit with their signature restraint: native yeast, old oak, no makeup. The wine is dense and explosive — graphite, leather, dried herbs, menthol, licorice, layered over a core of dark fruit with potent, muscular tannins. The kind of mountain Cabernet that needs years in the cellar to reveal its full depth.
