A clean and vibrant sparkling Pinot Grigio, bottled before the end of primary fermentation to capture it's lively sparkle. Early picking allows for low alcohol along with a zippy energy and lightness. Crunchy primary stone fruit flavours.

37.5cl half-bottle
Petit Syrah vines grown on Ridge's Lytton Estate, range in age with the oldest planted in 1901. A lesser known grape variety expertly made by one of California's finest wineries.
A refreshing Chardonnay with a unique character and bright acidity. This blend of two ridge-top West Sonoma Coast sites offers exceptional quality and complexity. With aromatics of Meyer lemon, white citrus flowers and green almond, this wine offers wild flavours of Kefir lime, Mandarin orange pith, and lemon glaze, combined with a Champagne-like yeastiness and minerality.
Watson Ranch Vineyard is perched on a steep hillside overlooking the San Pablo Bay at the southernmost end of the Napa Valley. The cool windy conditions and calcareous soil produce wines with ample natural acidity and salinity. Watson Ranch Chardonnay by Arnot-Roberts is a beautifully fresh white which has more in common with Chablis than the overblown Chardonnays traditionally associated with California.
Jolie-Laide’s inaugural Aligoté, a vision years in the making and a delightful Californian rarity. Sourced from two unique sites in the northern Russian River Valley and San Benito County AVAs. Naturally fermented and aged in a combination of concrete and neutral puncheons for purity and freshness. As you would expect from Jolie-Laide, it has laser beam focus, Chablisienne in style, crisp and clean with mouthwatering salinity.
Petit Syrah vines grown on Ridge's Lytton Estate, range in age with the oldest planted in 1901. A lesser known grape variety expertly made by one of California's finest wineries.
The little known Ribolla Gialla comes from 19 year old vines in the Napa Valley. It is aged in neutral French oak for 10 months. A great food wine that will match perfectly white fish dishes or soft cheeses.
“The 2021 Pinot Noir Plural is bright, sculpted and full of energy. Crushed red berry fruit, spice, tobacco and cedar lend notable aromatic brilliance to this nuanced, beautifully translucent Pinot. It's a gorgeous appellation-level Pinot that showcases the style of the year so well.” Antonio Galloni – 91 Pts

"From an own-rooted vineyard planted in 1972, at 1400 ft, 3 miles from the Pacific (it’s Bohan Vineyard), this is fermented in French oak (20% new) and has minimum effective SO2 added. It’s sensational. Taut, fine and lemony with keen acidity, but no feeling of compression. There’s generous crystalline citrus fruit with a fine, spicy structure and a touch of salinity on the finish. Very pure and focused, but offering real complexity at low alcohol. There’s just a faint hint of mineral reduction and everything is in perfect harmony. This would be so hard to place tasted blind. I really love it." Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com, 96 pts
Sourced exclusively from the iconic Bohan ranch, Jamie Kutch's Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is the epitome of California elegance—balanced, terroir-driven, and downright irresistible. Jamie Goode rated it a whopping 94 points, while Antonio Galloni ranged it between 91-93. Expect an aromatic burst of lemon confit, white pepper, and dried flowers, all wrapped up with a nuanced touch of French oak. Not to be missed.
Arnot-Roberts' Sonoma Coast Syrah 2021 is a standout, scoring an impressive 94 points from Antonio Galloni. Made with fruit from a selection of organic vineyards across the Sonoma Coast, this is a restrained and elegant Californian Syrah packed with black fruit flavours and an earthy complexity. Galloni raves about its dark, rich profile, filled with red and purplish fruit, lavender, and dried flowers. He's excited about its potential, predicting the aromatics will intensify with time. A blend from Solas, Baker Lane, and Que Syrah, made entirely with stems, this wine is both powerful and substantial. In Galloni's words: "I loved it."
Kutch is one of the metonymies of Pinot Noirs’s perfection in California. This young estate encourages their grapes to express their natural greatness.
From the revered Trout Gulch Vineyard in Santa Cruz—a region even older than Napa—comes Jamie Kutch's standout 2021 Chardonnay. With a 95 from Jamie Goode and a 92-94 from Antonio Galloni, this isn't just any Chardonnay. Sourced from 40-year-old vines and crafted with minimal fuss, it's a masterclass in Californian elegance and terroir. Lemon peel and white flowers take centre stage, backed by the vineyard's signature minerality. Highly recommended!
This Pinot from Jamie Kutch comes from Bohan Ranch, a 4th generation family owned farm. The Pinot Noir vines were planted in 1974 without rootstock. The vines were farmed dry land without any form of irrigation from the get go. This caused the vines to send their roots deep down into the Yorkville Laughlin soil in their search for water. Creating hard wearing vines that produce grapes with intense concentration and character.
"The 2021 Chardonnay Campbell Ranch is intensely floral, effusive and tropical in its first impression, beautifully layered and creamy, the 2021 is super-impressive. Hints of tangerine oil, mint, lemon confit and a kiss of French oak meld together nicely. The 2021 is a bit richer than some previous wines here. It's a style that works so well." Antonio Galloni – 94 PTS
A 75cl bottle of California Red Wine 2021 by Arnot-Roberts. A red wine from Sonoma in the California region of U.S.A.. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.
Incredible parcel from Californian pioneer Jamie Kutch. This Chardonnay, sourced entirely from the Bohan vineyard, captures everything we love about California: elegant, balanced and terroir focused.
In Sonoma's Petaluma Gap, the Clary Ranch Syrah 2021 stands out as Arnot-Roberts' coolest vineyard site. This unique microclimate, bathed in cool Pacific air, nurtures deeply pigmented and flavour-rich Syrah grapes. The wine captivates with its blend of game, scorched earth, tobacco, and black pepper, woven seamlessly with dark, red-fleshed fruit. Its coastal savouriness, exotic spice, and herbaceous notes are complemented by a structure of high natural acidity and immense tannins — a hallmark of this low-yield vintage. Stunning now and with the promise of graceful ageing, this dense and concentrated Syrah has been awarded a notable 97 points by Antonio Galloni.
