U.S.A. > California > Santa Cruz
Found on Mt. Eden in the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA, the Peter Martin Ray vineyard dates back to the late 1800s and was one of the first sites in California to be planted with Pinot Noir. Replanted in 1979, the old dry-farmed vines cling to the rocky landscape at over 420m elevation. The depleted, exposed shale soils are notoriously nutrient poor and the vines work hard to generate low yields of fruit with incredible concentration and depth.


95/100 - The 2021 Pinot Noir Peter Martin Ray Vineyard is dense, almost shockingly so for Arnot-Roberts. Dark cherry, cedar, tobacco, menthol and licorice are all turned up in a Pinot that captures all the natural intensity of this exposed hillside site at 1,400 feet in elevation. The 100% whole clusters are pretty much buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. The 2021 is fabulous, but it is going to require at least several years of cellaring. (Tasted January 2023) - Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Deep, dark ruby colour with potent aromatics. Concentrated black cherry and  raspberry with forest floor, dried herbs & gamy qualities. Powerful on the palate with muscular structure and bold intense flavours.
The vines were planted in 1979 and are 100% organically farmed. 
The vineyard is still under the care of Peter Martin Ray. 
Ability to cellar for up to 10 years but drinking well now.
Pair with miso mushroom risotto.

WINERY HISTORY

Arnot-Roberts was founded by childhood friends Nathan Lee Roberts and Duncan Arnot Meyers. Established in Healdsburg in 2001, the pair’s relationship with wine stretches much further back. Both Napa Valley natives, they grew up deeply rooted in the community, surrounded by vineyards, winemakers, and the agrarian rhythms of California’s wine country. Following their graduation from university, Nathan... Read More >>
