Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon Kayli Morgan Vineyard 2014
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 Kayli Morgan Vineyard 2014 is a distinguished Napa Valley wine crafted from low-yield grapes during a drought year. This single-vineyard Cabernet showcases meticulous attention to detail, with grapes micro-picked and vinified separately, then aged for 30 months in new French oak, resulting in a rich and structured profile. The wine presents a deep, opaque purple color with aromas of crème de cassis and blueberry, complemented by notes of cedar and graphite. Its texture is robust yet refined, with a balance of ripe dark fruits and subtle spice, making it a prime example of Napa's cult wines, limited to about 1–2k cases.
Tasting Notes
- WA99
- The 2014s also look sensational, with potential perfect scores for the 2014 Few and Far Between and the 2014 Ark, with the 2014 Kayli Morgan not far behind. These wines are still in cask and probably won’t be bottled until sometime in 2017. Some quick notes on them. The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Kayli Morgan will be delicious when released, as it often is. I suspect that this, like the Few and Far Between, as well as the Ark, will spend 32 months in cask. But the élevage and meticulous attention to detail by Woodbridge seems to result in wines that never show much wood. This wine has great fruit, an opaque purple color, beautiful crème de cassis, blueberry and floral notes in a sexy, opulent, forward style that will be more flattering and flamboyant than its 2013 counterpart, at least in its youth.
