Welcome to Your Fall Shipment!

I am pleased to share that we have planted over 15,000 trees since beginning our partnership with One Tree Planted (OTP) just under a year ago. Together, we created a simple way for everyone to get involved in bettering our environment – a portion of the proceeds from every bottle of The Arborist sold goes to OTP to plant trees. If you have enjoyed a bottle of The Arborist lately, I’d like to personally thank you for helping us reach this milestone so quickly!

Founded in 2014, OTP has doubled the number of trees it has planted every year. The current projected total by the end of 2021 is 20 million trees. Our unique partnership is a perfect fit, as we share the belief that planting trees is the key to preserving our precious planet.

The entire Vina Robles family is excitedly watching our contribution grow. You can follow our progress along with them on social media and on our website.

From OTP Founder Matt Hill: “As an environmental charity, we are dedicated to making it easier for individuals and businesses to give back to the environment, create a healthier climate, protect biodiversity and help reforestation efforts around the world. All by planting trees!”

Fall 2021 Signature Club Shipment 2020 Sauvignon Blanc JARDINE VINEYARD We source our Sauvignon Blanc fruit from a small sandy gravelly block on our Jardine Vineyard. Although naturally vigorous on the vine, this variety can be sensitive to degradation during winemaking so steps are taken to preserve its fragile varietal characteristics. The grapes were picked and delivered to the winery in the cool morning hours. The fruit was gently pressed and settled with judicious use of inert gas.

The wine was then cold fermented in stainless steel tanks to limit oxidation and preserve the aromatics. Following fermentation, the wine was kept on the lees to further enhance the characteristics and mouthfeel.

Fall 2021 Signature Club Shipment 2019 Petite Sirah When we first planted Petite Sirah over seventeen years ago, there was not much local precedent to guarantee how it would perform. Nevertheless, it soon became evident that these grapes were ideally suited to growing conditions in our estate vineyards Jardine and Creston Valley. Both vineyards experience daily temperature swings of 40 to 50 degrees in the summer, which is very beneficial for taming this muscular variety and produce some exceptional wines.

2018 Signature “Signature” is Winemaker Kevin Willenborg’s hallmark blend of the vintage that is unconstrained by convention–in other words the signature wine of the vintage. This year’s blend is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah–three varieties that frequently find an exceptional balance in our region. These varieties are known for their intense color, generous amount of flavor and rich tannins that will continue to develop with proper aging.

Color: DARK GARNET Aroma: BOYSENBERRY WITH HINTS OF VIOLETS, JUNIPER BERRY AND DARK CHOCOLATE

Taste: FULL-BODIED WITH DARK FRUITS, LAYERED AGE-WORTHY TANNINS THAT LINGER INTO A RICH CHEWY FINISH

Fall 2021 Signature Club Shipment 2019 Grenache TERRA BELLA VINEYARD This variety has proven to grow so well at our estate Terra Bella Vineyard that we felt compelled to craft this limited showcase. Terra Bella Vineyard is located in the rugged coastal mountains of the Adelaida District. Here, rocky calcareous soils and high elevations combine to create perfect conditions for this classic Rhône. This wine was aged for 20 months in American and Hungarian oak barrels to cultivate added complexity and complementary vanilla notes. Only 331 cases were produced.

Color: LIGHT RUBY Aroma: CANDIED CHERRIES AND POMEGRANATE WITH NOTES OF CARAMEL AND SPICE

Taste: MEDIUM-BODIED WITH CHERRIES, POMEGRANATE AND CARAMEL FLAVORS LEADING TO A SOFT JUICY FINISH
