2018 Hundred Acre, Kayli Morgan Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

Hundred Acre was founded in 2000 by Jayson Woodbridge, an investment banker who established his estate in the Napa Valley with a singular focus on site-specific viticulture. This wine is made from vines planted in 1996 in a unique clay-based site, where volcanic pebbles and glass help manage water and cool the vines throughout the growing season. In the glass, it shows concentrated notes of cassis, black plum, and graphite, supported by a rich, velvety texture. The 2018 vintage provided a long, moderate growing season that allowed for even ripening and significant depth of flavor. This bottling is built for the long-term cellar, offering a balanced and poised structure for those looking to experience the potential of this iconic site.
