Hundred Acre Vineyard Fortunate Son "The Warrior" Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Limited new release from Hundred Acre and an amazing buy in high-end Napa Cabernet. Limited. previous vintage 98 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The Fortunate Son Cabernet Sauvignon The Warrior is riveting stuff, offering an incredible array of sweet darker currants, tobacco leaf, lead pencil, and classy oak. It's a big, rich wine, yet it's not over the top and has a semi-opaque purple hue, medium to full body, seamless tannins, and a layered, silky, incredibly satisfying style that's going to evolve for two decades." Jayson Woodbridge applies his signature brand of genius to this new project from very old vines. 85-90-years-old, to be more specific. 92% Cabernet Sauvignon is bolstered by a proprietary selection of red varieties tucked into the vineyard. Deep in color and flamboyant in presentation, the nose is rich with redcurrant preserves, cassis, dark chocolate and roses, plus hints of Indian spices and a hard line of iron ore. The palate is pure velvet, beautifully fresh and loaded with spicy layers. Fans and followers of Hundred Acre will want to scoop up this well-priced endeavor from such a renowned winemaker.

"Odedi" 
Ruby in color with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim. Strong nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity. Dry on the palate and fruit forward. Showing red and blue fruits with cedar, licorice, chocolates, vanilla, coffee, spices and peppercorn. This Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is soft and elegant, and nicely balanced. Already showing great complexity, although still very young and needs another 5 years in the bottle to mature. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Doesn't show like a Napa Cabernet at this point. I had the 2019 recently and it was drinking very differently. Very interesting. Good by itself as a sipping wine. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 35 months in all new French oak barrels. 15.5% alcohol by volume. 93 points. $400.
