2017 Hundred Acre 'Ark Vineyard' Cabernet Sauvignon, Howell Mountain, USA

Winemaker Notes
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard possesses a deep, profound bouquet of blue-black fruit, cassis, dried violets, korean spices, dark roasted coffee, and a hint of well-worn leather. Complex, full-bodied, and supremely textured, it keeps coming back with loads of fruit and opulence Hundred Acre Ark Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon yet stays perfectly balanced, has silky tannins, smooth edges and a royal, singular personality.

About the Producer
Proprietor and former investment banker Jayson Woodbridge bought the 3.6 hectare (9 acre) Kayli Morgan vineyard in Howell Mountain in the late 1990s, naming it for the Hundred Acre Wood from Winnie-the-Pooh. This has been joined by the Ark Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from a 6 hectare (15 ac) property on Glass Mountain in St Helena, and the Few and Far Between cuvée from a 2 hectare (5 ac) site near the historic Eisele vineyard which features around 10-percent Cabernet Franc. The Precious is a cuvée drawn from all three properties.

The vineyard is managed carefully, in such a way that the practices are commensurate with the price of the wines. Vines are pruned to one grape cluster per vine, producing very low yields, and five passes are made at harvest time. At the winery, grapes are sorted berry by berry, and fermented in French oak, usually 500 litre puncheons. Aging time for the wines varies from vintage to vintage, but two years is not out of the ordinary. These wines frequently sell out upon release and are not easy to secure unless one is on the Hundred Acre mailing list.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard is darker and more masculine, with lots of black and almost blue fruits as well as violets, bouquet garni, and earthy, forest floor-like nuances. I love its texture, it’s full-bodied, has ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s slightly more round and accessible compared to the Dark Ark release, but both are brilliant wines.

Deep garnet-black colored, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard unfurls sensuously from the glass with provocative scents of baked black cherries, plum preserves and crème de cassis, with emerging suggestions of fragrant earth, black truffles, Chinese five spice and dusty soil. Full-bodied, rich and oh-so-spicy on the palate, it has a rock-solid backbone of grainy tannins and lively acidity supporting the opulent fruit, finishing very long and exotic. This is a surprisingly decadent and powerful expression of 2017! Reviewed by Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Issue date: December 2021. Drinking window: 2024 - 2048.
