Arnot-Roberts was founded in Healdsburg in 2001 by childhood friends Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts. Beginning with one barrel of wine made in their basement, the winery started small and grew slowly by sourcing grapes from some of the most remarkable vineyards in California. Duncan and Nathan grew up together in the Napa Valley and from an early age were immersed in the rhythm of agrarian life surrounded by the vineyards and winemaking of the early 1980’s. Both of their families, while not directly involved in winemaking, were deeply rooted in the community as chefs, coopers, teachers and attorneys in what, at the time, was a small up and coming wine region. After college, the duo followed their passion into the wine industry with Nathan joining his father as a cooper of oak wine barrels and Duncan pursuing winemaking in several renowned wineries in Napa and Sonoma counties.

"A delightfully fresh and mineral Chardonnay that pushes back against any Napa Valley caricatures of this variety. This clone 4 bottling comes from the southernmost part of Napa Valley at Watson Ranch Vineyard, overlooking San Pablo Bay, and was planted in 1993. Aromatics of dried chamomile and alpine meadow herbs leap forth alongside wafts of ocean air. The palate offers a saline throughline with sleek minerality, bright salted lemon wedge and concentrated savoury lemon verbena to finish." - Decanter 94 pts
