Arnot-Roberts Cabernet Sauvignon Fellom Ranch Santa Cruz Mountains 2021

  Founded in 2001 by childhood friends, Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Roberts, Arnot-Roberts has played a huge part in advocating for naturally produced, single-vineyard bottlings from California. They focus on old-vine, dry-farmed sites throughout California. When the Fellom family purchased their ranch on Montebello Ridge in 1929, it came with an established vineyard planted to Zinfandel. Between 1980-1983 they replanted and expanded this austere site with Cabernet Sauvignon cuttings from the Charles Krug Winery in the Napa Valley. The resulting wines from Fellom Ranch are sustainably farmed, wildly aromatic and deeply concentrated with dark pigment and fruit, supported by the tannic structure needed for a long life in the cellar before reaching full maturity. A wine that will continue to show great depth for years to come
