The 2024 Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County is a new wine from Arnot-Roberts. It comes from the Lichau Hill and Bedrock vineyards, both planted in 1998. Matured for 22 months in used oak, it has pure scents of blueberry, black cherry, loamy earth and dried rose petals. Medium-bodied, it floods the mouth with dark, perfumed fruit. It’s structured by fine-grained tannins and bright acidity and has a long, elegant finish. Published: Nov 05, 2026, Reviewed by: Erin Brooks

Winery: Our objective in crafting this wine was to source fruit from sites that showcase Cabernet Sauvignon while yielding softer structure that could be enjoyed upon release. Sourced from two incredible Sonoma vineyards: Bedrock and Lichau Hill. The historic Bedrock Vineyard in the heart of the Sonoma Valley has been growing grapes for over 150 years. These vines were planted in 1998 in red cobbly volcanic alluvium. Bedrock captures the mid-season heat needed to coax generous color and flavor from Cabernet, while benefitting from afternoon cooling breezes. The beautiful Lichau Hill Vineyard is planted southwest of Bedrock, high on the western flank of Sonoma Mountain. This extremely rocky and cool site is exposed to the constant cooling breezes blowing in from the Petaluma Gap. The final blend of 55% Lichau Hill and 45% Bedrock is refined, with a concentrated core of red and blue fruits. This wine will drink well on release and will also improve for years to come with proper storage.
