Item Description
As with many recent Watson Ranch Chardonnay releases from Arnot-Roberts this shows off the unique characteristics of the vineyard. Lemon peel, white flowers, mint, crushed rocks and apricot pits are some of the notes that open up in the glass. The flavors are bright, precise and lifted, but it is the wine's superb textural balance that truly elevates it. This vintage has not yet been rated, this vineyard has produced wines consistently in the mid-90s.
Name of Winery: Arnot-Roberts
Bottle Size: Magnum, 1.5L
Number of Bottles: 1
Varietal: Chardonnay
Appellation: Napa Valley
The Watson Ranch vineyard is perched on a steep hillside overlooking the San Pablo Bay in the southernmost end of the Napa Valley. The vineyard can be seen on the top of the hill just east of the Green Island Vineyard which we sourced fruit from 2007-09. Exposed and austere, the Watson Ranch is a wind whipped site planted in 1993 on marine deposits over limestone. This soil type is extremely rare on the North Coast and is coupled with organic farming techniques, giving this parcel great potential to produce Chardonnay of singular character, structure and nuance.
