Hundred Acre Dark Ark 2015 is a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from a specific selection of barrels within Hundred Acre`s Ark Vineyard in St. Helena. The 2015 Napa Valley vintage was notably early and marked by a warm, dry winter and spring, leading to early bud break and bloom. Cool temperatures during peak bloom caused uneven fruit set, resulting in a significantly smaller crop with concentrated flavors. Grapes from this vintage generally showed deep, rich characteristics.

Dark Ark is a selection of barrels from the Ark vineyard in 2015 that were bottled separately. It comes from a pre-blending selection of barrels that were notably denser and more powerful than the others this vintage. Some of these were blended into the single-vineyard Ark label, but when their contribution to the blend began to detract from the essence of that wine, the remaining barrels were bottled separately. Jayson Woodbridge dubbed the wine "Dark Ark" and the name stuck. The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Dark Ark is medium to deep garnet-purple colored and incredibly perfumed with black cherries, violets, earth and rose hip tea plus wafts of oolong and cinnamon stick with a touch of underbrush. The palate is full-bodied, firm and velvety with great freshness?so seamless with all the aromas and flavors so beautifully married, finishing long. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
