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.

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.
