Arinarnoa is a French cross of Tannat and Cabernet Sauvignon, developed to combine Tannat's structure with Cabernet's more familiar profile for Bordeaux-adjacent plantings. California's CDFA crush data span 2006 through 2025 across four districts, with an outlier year of about 3,298 tons crushed statewide, far above its typical volume, before falling to near nothing in recent years. Prices have stayed low, topping out at $500 a ton. No bearing acreage has been separately reported, so the variety's California footprint reads mostly through this volatile crush history rather than any steady planted base.

Counts describe what this atlas holds for Arinarnoa, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
