About this winery

Duncan Arnot Meyers grew up around wine. His father's best friend was Bernard Portet of Clos du Val, and much of Duncan's youth was spent in Napa Valley. He was mentored by John Kongsgaard and worked side by side with Pax Malhe, Northern California's cult syrah specialist, until June 2008. The "Roberts" in Arnot-Roberts, is Nathan Lee Roberts, second generation master cooper, whose grandmother is Margot Biever Mondavi; Nathan's mother Annie Roberts was executive chef at Robert Mondavi Winery....

February 2022 (Vintage 2019)

Such an inviting, peppered nose of black peppercorn, hot paprika and turmeric with notes of blackberries, black cherries and blackcurrants in the background. Medium-to full-bodied, this immediately pulls you in and does not let go. So much depth and flavor with concentration and consistent intensity. Sleek. There is such fine precision here that allows for nuance and delicacy in the floral and mineral notes, adding layers and layers of compelling complexity. One of the best examples of what syrah is capable of on the Sonoma Coast. Lovely now, but best after 2024.

Antonio Galloni, January 2022 (Vintage 2019)

The 2019 Syrah Que Syrah Vineyard, from Nathan Roberts’ home ranch, is bold, powerful and explosive. Inky dark blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and gravel wrap together in a deep, potent Syrah that is going to need time to unwind. There is so much personality and character here.
