Arnot-Roberts Chardonnay 'Trout Gulch' Santa Cruz Mountains 2017

Founded in 2001 by two childhood friends, Arnot-Roberts has played a huge part in advocating for naturally produced, single-vineyard bottlings from the Golden State. Planted nearly 40 years ago, ‘Trout Gulch’ sits 800 feet above sea level, just four miles away from the Pacific Ocean. Cool marine breezes and sandy loam soils keep grapes balanced and bright; the 2017 is lively and bright, with notes of citrus, salt, stones, and orchard fruit.
