Hundred Acre Ark Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 is crafted from a site characterised by old volcanic soils. This wine presents notes of iron, ash and tar, intermingled with dark fruit undertones. Its profile reflects a restrained and serious nature, offering a backbone of minerality that emphasises structure over immediate gratification. The finish is extended, showcasing mineral complexity. Jayson Woodbridge, the producer, is known for his relentless pursuit of excellence in winemaking, making Hundred Acre wines among the most distinctive offerings in Napa Valley.

The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard emerges from a parcel of old, volcanic soils that inform the wine to a significant degree. A vivid kaleidoscope of iron, ash, tar, smoke, crushed rocks and dark red berries take shape as this fabulous, pedigreed wine shows off its considerable personality. A cool, inward wine, the Ark is all about minerality and pure tension as a backdrop for the characteristic Hundred Acre fruit. A huge, mineral-soaked finish rounds things out in style. The 2009 is the rare Hundred Acre wine that is not likely to offer immediate pleasure. It will more than make up for that in the future. I can't wait to see how this explosive, beguiling Cabernet develops over the next few years. Antonio Galloni1st December 2012
