Hundred Acre - "Wriath" - Cabernet Sauvignon
WINE : Red Wine
VARIETAL : Cabernet Sauvignon
PRODUCER : Hundred Acre
COUNTRY : United States
REGION : Napa Valley
SUB REGION :
CLASSIFICATION : Napa Cult & Icon
SIZE : 750 ML
RATING : WA 100 , Vivino 4.8
Even better, and a perfect wine from my viewpoint, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Wraith is a blend of estate vineyards and spends 40 months in new French oak. As with all of Woodbridge’s wines, it has an incredible sense of elegance and finesse paired with beautiful richness and depth. Deep ruby/purple, with cassis and kirsch fruits as well as stunning notes of tobacco, toast, and gravelly minerality, this is Cabernet Sauvignon at its most complex, seamless, and elegant. The tannin quality is off the charts, and this magical, full-bodied, multi-dimensional effort can be enjoyed any time over the coming 30+ years or more.

DESCRIPTION / TASTING NOTE
WRAITH is a trinity of Hundred Acre’s three single vineyard wines. It is a selection of barrels set aside in the cellar from those waiting to be blended someday into the single vineyard wines from Kayli Morgan, ARK or Few and Far Between. All very dierent and incredibly unique. WRAITH shows all the beauty and personality of each individual vineyard and how they come together to develop even greater complexity.
