96 Points, Decanter
This was one of the first wines Jayson Woodbridge (of Hundred Acre fame) conceived for his new Summer Dreams label, inspired by his love of stargazing during the summer months. It’s a remarkably classy wine—super suave, with wonderful brown spices and cherry fruit. The palate is creamy and expressive, full of fruit-forward energy yet layered with richness and depth, showing even greater refinement than when I last tasted it. Notes of rich cedarwood, violets and dark forest tones add nuance and complexity, while supple tannins frame the brown-spice-scented red berry fruit beautifully through the long finish. In 2019, Jayson Woodbridge began producing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir under the Summer Dreams label, sourcing fruit from cool-climate vineyards on the extreme Sonoma Coast. This 100% Pinot Noir from the West Sonoma Coast is crafted from whole berries, fermented in open-top tanks and puncheons, and matured in a mix of Demptos, Taransaud and Cavin barrels. The wine is bottled unfined.

MORE INFO
When you’re Jayson Woodbridge, you always have to keep it interesting. Especially when you already own every accolade under the sun.
His smashing success with his brand, Hundred Acre (45+ perfect 100-point scores and counting), propelled him to worldwide stardom. Then, he followed that up with a successful spinoff for a slightly more affordable look with ‘Fortunate Son.’
But not surprisingly, the man who has accomplished so much already in Cabernet Sauvignon looks to ‘earn his chops’ with the ultimate winemaker’s grape: Pinot Noir.
Of course, Hundred Acre is already firmly established as a cult brand—the crazy long waitlist, the wine prices! Life is good for Woodbridge.
But with his ‘Summer Dreams’ project, he sets out to compete with the likes of ‘Sea Smoke,’ Marcassin, and Arnot Roberts for the ultimate Sonoma Coast Pinot cult status and show that his skills have no bounds.
Utilizing micro-vineyard blocks, the ‘Stargazing’ Pinot is Woodbridge’s lone ‘affordable’ Pinot in the deep waters of Sonoma Coast collectibles. Call it his effort to make at least one wine that can be ‘had’ by at least some folks outside of the ‘anything Jayson Woodbridge’ allocation list.
