Jayson Woodbridge founded Hundred Acre in 1998 and immediately sent the wine world into a craze. He wasted no time proclaiming through his winemaking and his allocation waitlist (that still currently sits at well over a decade) that he was amongst the very best winemakers in the world with the top vineyard sites in Napa.
His Cabernet Sauvignon made the Wine Spectator Top 100 list in his second vintage and earned more than twenty perfect 100-point scores from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate between 2002 and 2015. During the latter part of that stretch, Jayson searched for a few other tiny plots with the potential to produce world-class wines. Once he did, he started ‘Fortunate Son’ a second label capable of producing world-class Cabernet that collectors stockpile like gold.
The best part about the product is the value that it brings the customer even with such a steep price tag. Take this into account: Hundred Acre bottlings rarely make it past an allocation list and when they do, they’re either very high triple digits or into the thousands. Even at those prices the demand is there every single time. This ‘Fortunate Son’ bottling is a product of two vineyard sites – with one of them being a Hundred Acre estate vineyard, and the other being a family-owned vineyard right next to Jayson’s that was planted to 85- to 90-year-old vines! That’s not too shabby at all!
This one has yet to be reviewed by the masses but if Jeb Dunnuck’s early account is any indication, this one will be highly decorated and maybe even threaten perfection from some. It’s that good. Jeb came in at 96 while proclaiming his love for the wine’s balance and noting its “gorgeous tannins and a great finish”. It’s certainly still a baby – but after trying it myself a few days ago, I think it has the bones for something truly special and should have great 25-30 years ahead of it, no problem.

“Coming from two vineyards, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Dreamer sports a vivid purple hue to go with beautiful aromatics of dark Currants, ripe cranberries, leafy tobacco, and spring flowers. I love its balance, it’s medium to full-bodied, has gorgeous tannins, and a great finish.”

The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.

Feudo Montoni has been one of the best producers in Italy for literally hundreds of years, most notably for their work with Nero D’Avola grape in Sicily. It’s a gorgeous expression at such a good price. The 2020 “Lagnusa” is the perfect pizza or Thanksgiving wine with juicy black fruits, grippy tannins and a wonderful, fresh and herbaceous finish. Vinous Media gave the wine 92 points and raved, calling it “remarkably fresh yet long, leaving the mouth watering while still resonating on hints of blackberry.” You’re going to love this.

The new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.
Not Eligible for Futher Discount-From famed winemaker, Robert Foley comes an absolute delight of a bottle of wine. A seamless Bordeaux blend of 80% Cabernet, 17% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot that is incredibly smoothly now but should have another decade easy of prime drinking. It is the definition of a Saturday Night bottle of wine. One to cherish for a special occasion.
