100 Robert Parker
Woodbridge’s vineyard tucked away near the famous Eisele Vineyard, now owned by Château Latour, produces the wine known as the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Few and Far Between Vineyard. This is another luxurious, exceptionally concentrated and loaded wine with great intensity, a multi-dimensional mouthfeel, unbelievable amounts of blackberry, cassis and blueberry fruit, crushed rock minerality, and a floral note. It is easily the most backward of the five Cabernet Sauvignons I tasted from Woodbridge in 2012. The wine is super-intense, displays plenty of tannin, but is silky and well-integrated. This wine needs at least 4-5 years of cellaring, and should keep for 30-50 years, as it promises to be one of the modern-day legends from Napa.<br/>The genius of Jayson Woodbridge is not in dispute. A bigger than life character, he has a certain personal flamboyance and no-prisoners-taken persona, but what he and his team do in the vineyards and winery speaks for itself. These are remarkable wines, with his Cabernet Sauvignons some of the very finest in the world, and his Pinot Noir projects all high quality and pleasing to a multitude of diverse palates.

A gorgeous Cabernet that flirts with opulence, this is pure and juicy, with a mix of rich dark berry, cherry, plum and cassis flavors, supported by a minerally, crushed rock foundation that merges with the medley of berry notes on the long, persistent finish. Drink now through 2030. 600 cases made. –JL
Producer
Hundred Acre
Established in the year 2000, this Napa Valley rising star was created by Canadian ex-investment banker, Jayson Woodbridge. After the purchase of a small plot between St. Helena and Calistoga along the Silverado Trail, Hundred Acre has become one of the country’s finest producers, ranking amongst California’s best estates, like Harlan Estate and Screaming Eagle. Specializing in Cabernet Sauvignon, Hundred Acre produces a handful of estate-owned, single-vineyard and single-variety wines that are not only incredibly sought-after due to their limited production, but also due to their critical-acclaim. Since their first vintage, Hundred Acre has racked up an amazing eight perfect scoring wines from Robert Parker, not to mention their flawless line-up of wines that regularly receive well-above 95-points. It is Woodbridge’s meticulous attention to detail that puts Hundred Acre’s wines over the top, for example, each bottle features a 24-carat gold band that is fired into the glass of the neck. The estate produces three legendary pure and exceptional Cabernet Sauvignons – Few & Far Between, Kayli Morgan, and Ark. These wines are extremely hard to come by, only 3000 clients around the world have access, while the others are placed on a waiting list (many waiting over 5 years).
