2013 Hundred Acre 'Ark Vineyard' Cabernet Sauvignon, Howell Mountain, USA

The 2013 Hundred Acre ‘Ark Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain represents the epitome of what can be achieved in Napa Valley. Sourced from the renowned Ark Vineyard, this wine has garnered a loyal following due to its intense complexity and unparalleled craftsmanship. Founded by Jayson Woodbridge, Hundred Acre is celebrated for its uncompromising standards and meticulous approach to winemaking.

The History Behind the Name
Hundred Acre’s reputation was built on single-vineyard bottlings that express the distinct characteristics of each site. The Ark Vineyard, situated on the rugged slopes of Howell Mountain, is known for producing wines with a unique combination of power and elegance. The 2013 vintage, with its near-perfect growing conditions, allowed for full phenolic ripeness, resulting in a Cabernet Sauvignon that truly encapsulates the essence of this iconic vineyard.

Varietal Composition and Vineyard Attributes
The 2013 Ark Vineyard is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, reflecting the purity and focus that Hundred Acre strives for in every release. The vineyard’s volcanic soils and elevated position impart intensity and structure to the wine, while the diurnal temperature swings ensure balanced acidity and ripe tannins. These characteristics translate into a wine that is both robust and refined, making it a standout among Napa Valley Cabernets.

Meticulous Production Process
Each vine is meticulously managed, with hand-harvesting and triple sorting to select only the most pristine clusters. After fermentation in small lots, the wine undergoes extended aging in 100% new French oak barrels, enhancing its rich texture and complexity. The result is a wine with powerful aromatics of blackcurrant, graphite, and a hint of mocha, supported by finely grained tannins and a lingering finish.

Choose the 2013 Hundred Acre ‘Ark Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon to experience a wine that perfectly balances the bold character of Howell Mountain with the finesse and precision that define Hundred Acre’s philosophy. This is a true collector’s gem, designed to impress both today and for decades to come.

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard has a deep garnet color and nose of crème de cassis, blueberry compote and candied violets with hints of red roses, chocolate mint, stewed tea and yeast extract plus a hint of cumin. Full-bodied, rich and velvety, the palate is completely packed with spicy fruit, finishing with lingering earthy notes. Reviewed by Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Issue date: December 2018.
