Arnot – Roberts ‘Trousseau’ Red 2023 750 ML

93 Points – Decanter

Trousseau has become trendy throughout the US, but Arnot Roberts has been making one since 2009. This North Coast designate wine is primarily from the Luchsinger Vineyard in the Big Valley District of Lake County, with the remaining 25% coming from the Russian River Valley site, Las Cimas. Both vineyards are at significant elevation, showing Trousseau’s natural elegance and purity of fruit: bright red currants and tart cranberries, with dollops of fresh savoury herbs and mint. The palate shows such clarity, bright fruit tones, a hint of minerality, and brilliant acidity lifting the entire affair. It’s a wonderfully fresh and very pretty wine. (CP)
