About the Producer

Jayson Woodbridge, the owner and a former investment banker, purchased the Kayli Morgan vineyard in Howell Mountain in the late 1990s and gave it the name Hundred Acre Wood after Winnie-the-Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood. The Few and Far Between cuvée, produced on a 2 hectare (5 acre) parcel close to the ancient Eisele vineyard and containing about 10% Cabernet Franc, has joined this group. The Ark Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a 6 hectare (15 acre) property on Glass Mountain in St. Helena. A cuvée created from all three qualities is called The Precious.

The vineyard is meticulously tended such that the methods used are appropriate for the cost of the wines. Five passes are conducted at harvest time and vines are clipped to produce only one grape cluster per vine. Grapes are separated berry by berry at the winery and fermented in French oak, typically in 500-liter puncheons. The wines age differently from year to vintage, although two years is not unusual. Unless one is on the Hundred Acre mailing list, it is difficult to obtain these wines once they are released because they usually sell out.

(Rating 98+). The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Wraith is one of those wines that would be a perfect example of the expression “iron fist in a velvet glove.” Full-bodied, concentrated, and powerful, it has that classic 2018 frame that carries pure darker currant and cassis fruits as well as complex notes of leather, licorice, and spring flowers. This layered, multi-dimensional, perfectly balanced 2018 will reward 3-4 years of bottle age and cruise for 20-25 years. Reviewed by Jeb Dunnuck, Issue date: February 2023. Drinking window: 2026 - 2052.

(Rating 97+). A blend of fruit from the three single vineyards, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Wraith offers up more cherries and cranberries beautifully complemented by deep loam and mocha undertones. It's full-bodied, lush and velvety in texture, with a long, vibrant finish. It's even a bit tart. Reviewed by Joe Czerwinski, Issue date: May 2023. Drinking window: 2024 - 2040.
