Sonoma Cabernets
2008 Arnot-Roberts Clajeux Vineyard Chalk Hill Cabernet Sauvignon ($85, 14.1%): If you're pricing Cabernet ambitiously, it better have something to say. The Arnot-Roberts duo certainly makes a statement here, showcasing a fantastic spot that displays the same cinnamon accent found in Monte Rosso and other western Mayacamas vineyards. New oak coopered by Nathan Roberts himself is seamlessly sewn into this pure specimen, which can age for a decade. Full of sage and chicory aromas, with mineral firmness, dense blackberry and heady bramble fruit.
