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 (40+ 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.

Leading off the Pinot Noirs, the 2021 Pinot Noir Stargazing has bright cherry and darker raspberry notes supported by classy oak, peppery herbs, and spicy nuances. It’s medium-bodied, fresh, focused, has fine tannins, and a great finish. It picks up some complex sassafras and floral notes with time in the glass. There’s so much to love here.
95 Points, Lisa Perotti-Brown
The 2021 Stargazing Pinot Noir is medium ruby-purble in color. The nose opens with evocative notes of cranberry sauce, redcurrant jelly, and stewed rhubarb followed by nuances of lavendar and underbrush. The full-bodied palate is electric with energy, delivering bursts of red berries, earthy accents, and floral notes framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and a racy backbone, finishing long and tingly.

“The 2020 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is truly sensational. It begins with striking aromas of fresh blackberries, blueberries and dark plums that are laced with fresh spring florals, mocha, sweet exotic spices, graphite and gravel nuances all taking shape. The palate is full-bodied and displays a remarkable combination of power and elegance throughout. This is beautifully structured and extremely expressive, as it possesses outstanding depth and concentration all they way through the long, finessed finish. Year after year, the Columbia Valley Cabernet is one of the most impressive wines, and there is no exception here, as it combines all the wonderful qualities of the 2020 vintage from Quilceda Creek into one expression. This is fantastic already and readers will be in for a real treat, as this simply marvelous wine will continue to deliver the goods for years to come.”

Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.

“Quietly powerful, dense with alluring oak spices and late-picked fruit flavors, this full-bodied, velvet-textured Cabernet-dominant blend is generous and inviting to drink, but also balanced and structured for the long haul. Concentrated, deep and layered, it is meant for drinking with appreciative friends or family in the future. Best from 2027–2040.”
