Hundred Acre Vineyard ‘Wraith’ Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Categories , ,

The term ‘Cult Winery’ definitely gets thrown a lot unnecessarily but that truly is the best way to describe the Hundred Acre Vineyard project. No one is sure exactly how long the waitlist is, but the access to Ark, Kayli Morgan and Few Vineyards automatically propels this project into rare air.  Put that together with Jayson Woodbridge and Philippe Melka the winemakers behind it, and this is one of the all-time Napa Cab Cult Collectors.

The Wraith is a cuvee of all Three Hundred Acre Single vineyard estates. But rather than simply blending them together, the wine is taken from different barrels that represent unique qualities from each of the vineyards. It’s the perfect combination of brute force and finesse, a perfectly woven Cabernet Sauvignon that earned a killer 100-point review from wine critic, Jeb Dunnuck who finished his remarks by declaring, “The tannin quality is off the charts, and this magical, full-bodied, multi-dimensional effort can be enjoyed any time over the coming 30+ years or more.”

A perfect wine from my viewpoint, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Wraith is a blend of estate vineyards and spends 40 months in new French oak. As with all of Woodbridge’s wines, it has an incredible sense of elegance and finesse paired with beautiful richness and depth. Deep ruby/purple, with cassis and kirsch fruits as well as stunning notes of tobacco, toast, and gravelly minerality, this is Cabernet Sauvignon at its most complex, seamless, and elegant. The tannin quality is off the charts, and this magical, full-bodied, multi-dimensional effort can be enjoyed any time over the coming 30+ years or more.
