2018 Hundred Acre 'Morgan's Way' Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA

The 2018 Hundred Acre ‘Kayli Morgan Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkable expression of Napa Valley terroir, showcasing the unrivaled craftsmanship of one of the region’s most celebrated producers. Founded by Jayson Woodbridge, Hundred Acre has become synonymous with precision and quality, consistently creating wines that garner worldwide acclaim. This 2018 release further solidifies the estate's reputation, making it a must-have for serious collectors and enthusiasts alike.

A Distinctive Heritage:
‘Kayli Morgan Vineyard’ is a cornerstone of Hundred Acre’s portfolio, featuring meticulously cultivated vines planted on a small, 9-acre parcel in the eastern foothills of Napa Valley. Since its inaugural vintage, this vineyard has yielded some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon, drawing attention for its unique combination of power and elegance. The 2018 vintage, shaped by a near-perfect growing season, exemplifies the purity and depth that the vineyard is renowned for.

Cabernet Sauvignon at Its Finest:
Crafted entirely from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 ‘Kayli Morgan’ captures the essence of this noble varietal. The wine reveals a symphony of aromas, from dark blackberries and ripe plum to subtle notes of graphite and cocoa. On the palate, it’s richly textured with layers of cassis, dark chocolate, and hints of tobacco leaf, leading to a finish that is long, refined, and balanced.

Meticulous Production Attributes:
Each grape is handpicked at optimal ripeness and rigorously sorted to ensure only the finest fruit makes it into the final blend. Fermentation occurs in small lots to preserve the integrity of each vineyard block, followed by extended aging in custom French oak barrels. This meticulous process allows the wine to evolve gracefully, developing complexity and finesse over time.

The 2018 Hundred Acre ‘Kayli Morgan Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon is an iconic representation of Napa Valley winemaking, offering unparalleled quality and a remarkable sense of place.

Starting off an incredible lineup of 2018s, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Kayli Morgan Vineyard has a purple/blue hue as well as a powerful bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, blueberries, smoked tobacco, and new leather, with a kiss of background graphite. Full-bodied, utterly seamless, and flawlessly balanced, it's impossible to resist today yet will cruise for 20-25 years in cold cellars. Reviewed by Jeb Dunnuck, Issue date: Febuary 2023. Drinking window: 2023 - 2048.

(Rating 96+) Situated toward the base of Howell Mountain, too low to be included in that AVA, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Kayli Morgan Vineyard boasts ample complexity in its scents of pine needles, blueberries and cassis, all framed by vanilla and cedar. Did I mention lots of vanilla? It's a full-bodied wine, silky-plush and almost too easy to drink, with a long, menthol-tinged finish. There's a certain coolness, an aloofness to this wine, which one might more charitably call restraint but which left this taster only majorly impressed, not completely wowed.
