Description
2018 HUNDRED ACRE ARK VINEYARD CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Winemaker Notes: “The single estate vineyard ARK is located just outside St. Helena, California at the base of Howell Mountain. It was originally planted in the 1880s, but was sadly lost to Prohibition. It took us five years to rebuild; she is our pride and joy. The ARK is comprised of nine different blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon, planted meter by meter in nine different volcanic soil strata. The vineyard stretches through a sixty-million-year time sequence: three ancient beach fronts, a prehistoric weapons quarry, and spans a 180-degree arc of the sun over its half-mile length.”
TASTING NOTES, “The Hundred Acre 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard is full of freshly crushed red and black currants, black cherries, black raspberries and cassis scents with spectacular lilacs and fragrant earth accents. Full-bodied, rich and velvety, the palate is densely packed with lavish and extravagant fruit, Finishing with long, lingering earthy notes.” CALIHIWINES – ALWAYS 100 POINTS
