Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon The Ark Vineyard 2017 1.5L
The Winery
Hundred Acre
“From meticulous harvesting berry by berry rather than grape bunch by grape bunch, to an obsessive/compulsive barrel regime as well as winemaking, Hundred Acre is the Napa outpost of visionary and a genius”
– Jayson Woodbridge
Jayson Woodbridge was a successful investment banker in Canada and had an epiphany when he walked through a vineyard in Okanagan. He knew that he wanted to have his own vineyard and to create award-winning wine.
Since his debut in 2000, his 100% Cabernet Sauvignon has been living up to his motto of “stand amongst the very best or not at all’. Everything handcrafted, hand pruned, scrutinized and aligned for his desired response, near critical perfection and some of the finest wine known to man. His wines are terrific examples of Napa Cabernet and have made their way to cult status, so getting your hands on them can be difficult.
Summary
The Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon The Ark Vineyard 2017 is a distinguished Napa Valley wine crafted from a high-elevation, volcanic site in the Vaca Range. Known for its tiny production and cult status, this wine is hand-harvested and aged for over 30 months in new French oak, resulting in a rich and powerful expression. The wine showcases deep garnet-black hues and offers enticing aromas of baked black cherries, plum preserves, and crème de cassis, complemented by earthy notes of black truffles and spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a robust backbone of grainy tannins and lively acidity, leading to a long, exotic finish. This vintage stands out for its decadent character and excellent texture.
