WINEMAKER NOTES
2013 Hundred Acre 'Ark Vineyard' Cabernet Sauvignon – Howell Mountain Perfection
The 2013 Hundred Acre ‘Ark Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon represents one of the most profound expressions of Napa Valley terroir. Crafted by Jayson Woodbridge, this wine hails from the steep slopes of Howell Mountain and has earned universal acclaim as one of the greatest modern Napa Cabernets. The 2013 vintage is widely regarded as a perfect year for the estate, combining power, purity, and finesse in extraordinary harmony.
Tasting Notes
Dark, seductive, and complex, the 2013 ‘Ark’ opens with aromas of blackberry liqueur, graphite, and violets, followed by notes of licorice, crushed rock, and dark chocolate. The palate is monumental, displaying layers of ripe black fruit and silky tannins wrapped in a velvety texture. Despite its density, the wine remains balanced and vibrant, leading to a finish that lasts for minutes.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
The Ark Vineyard sits on Howell Mountain’s eastern edge, planted on volcanic soils that yield small, concentrated berries. The wine is composed entirely of Cabernet Sauvignon, hand-harvested and fermented in small French oak fermenters. Aging takes place over 32 months in 100% new French oak barrels, with no fining or filtration—only the purest expression of the vineyard’s fruit. Each Hundred Acre vintage is bottled exclusively from single-vineyard sources, showcasing the artistry of minimal intervention winemaking.
Investment & Collectibility
The 2013 Hundred Acre ‘Ark Vineyard’ has become a legend among California Cult Wines. Awarded a perfect 100 points from multiple critics, this vintage is a cornerstone for collectors seeking wines with both critical pedigree and long-term investment potential. Perfect for your collection.
Vintage Specifics & Accolades
The 2013 vintage is often cited as one of Napa Valley’s all-time greats, producing wines of incredible depth, purity, and longevity. The ‘Ark’ bottling from Hundred Acre captures the very essence of Howell Mountain power and precision.
