ARNOT-ROBERT PINOT NOIR MARTIN RAY VYD 2023

Arnot-Roberts, established in 2001 by Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts, epitomizes artisanal winemaking in California. Their journey from Napa Valley roots to acclaimed label reflects a deep connection to the land, emphasizing sustainable practices and meticulous vineyard selection across Northern California. The Pinot Noir Peter Martin Ray Vineyard, sourced from the historic site atop Mt. Eden in the Santa Cruz Mountains, embodies this ethos. Planted in 1979 on nutrient-deficient Franciscan Shale soils, these organically farmed vines yield a wine redolent of ripe cherry, wild herbs, and forest floor, a testament to the vine s tenacity and the Ray family s enduring stewardship.
