Arnot-RobertsCaliforniaCabernet-Merlot

This is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), Cabernet Franc (20%), and Merlot (20%) from one of California’s most exciting and pioneering wineries. Sourced from sites across the state, it delights with all the hallmarks of California reds.

95+/100 �A new Bordeaux-based red wine that Duncan Arnot and Nathan Roberts made initially to take the place of the 2020 Cabernets that would have been released around this time but were compromised by the smoke. The red wine was initially intended to be a fun project, but Arnot and Roberts may have stumbled into what is really a pretty serious red with real potential. A powerful, old-school wine, the 2021 is going to need a few years to shed some tannin. I loved it. �Antonio Galloni, Vinous
