Description
Arnot-Roberts began working with the Watson Ranch vineyard in 2002, just a year after the winery was founded. It was one of their earliest vineyard partnerships and remains a cornerstone of their Chardonnay program. The site’s limestone and marine-influenced soils aligned perfectly with Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Roberts’ early vision of producing bright, mineral-driven wines that emphasized terroir over ripeness or oak.
Varietal: 100% Chardonnay
Watson Ranch Vineyard sits high above the Pacific at the southernmost edge of Napa Valley. The grapes are whole-cluster pressed and fermented with native yeasts in neutral oak, then aged on fine lees to build texture while preserving tension and clarity.
Tasting Notes: A taut and mineral-driven Chardonnay with notes of Meyer lemon, green pear, and crushed oyster shell. The palate is sleek and focused, layering citrus zest and saline minerality over a subtle, leesy richness. A long, mouthwatering finish speaks to the vineyard’s coastal influence and the precision of its farming.
