The Story
Arnot-Roberts' most elegant Cabernet, from a steep volcanic hillside in Chalk Hill that Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts have farmed since 2003. Clajeux Vineyard sits on rocky volcanic soils between Knights Valley and the Russian River Valley, surrounded by native oak and madrone, with cool afternoon breezes climbing up the canyon. The vines were planted in 1999 by Don and Carolyn Vogt; A-R works the same fourteen rows year after year. Native yeast, old oak, minimal intervention — the house signature. The result is a Cabernet of incredible color and depth but uncommon refinement: dark fruit, dried herbs, white pepper, and tannins that are woven into the wine rather than draped over it.
