Arnot-Roberts Pinot Noir Fox Creek Vineyard Carmel Valley
Arnot‑Roberts sources fruit for the Fox Creek Pinot Noir from a warm, sandy loam site in Carmel Valley, originally planted in 1982. This Rhône-focused producer has shifted to making site-driven Pinots in Monterey County.
Hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts, aged 10 months in a mix of neutral French oak—with a hint of new—this 2023 shows transparent red fruit, earthy structure, and a sleek coastal warmth.
