Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon Precious 2008
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
Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon Precious 2008 is a rare and luxurious Napa Valley red, crafted by Jayson Woodbridge from exceptional estate barrels. This micro-cuvée is distinguished by its full-bodied structure, having undergone extended aging in new French oak without fining or filtering. The challenging 2008 vintage, marked by frost, resulted in limited yields, enhancing its exclusivity. The wine reveals intense aromas of black cherries, cassis, and mocha, complemented by herbal and earthy notes. It features a firm, grainy palate with vibrant acidity, leading to a long and captivating finish. This wine embodies richness and concentration, making it a standout choice for collectors.
