Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Kayli Morgan Vineyard(2001)
Hundred Acre Kayli Morgan Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is made exclusively from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in our own Kayli Morgan vineyard just north of St. Helena at the base of Howell Mountain.
Beautifully broad, savory, and full-bodied, and even though it is all Cabernet Sauvignon, it always comes across like an exotic Merlot from Pomerol, especially the famed Le Pin. Seductive and sensual, with notes of cedar, sweet kirsch, graphite, and spice, the wine is full-bodied, layered, gorgeously plump.

- Jayson Woodbridge does it again and again. If you look at his critical acclaim since the release of the 2000 Hundred Acre Kayli...no one has taken a faster ascent to the top of the mountain. Uncompromising maybe the biggest tell tale sign of JW's unwitting demand for excellence for his wines. Tasted from the barrel, although unfinished 01 HA KM gave me shivers like a cool breeze went through the cave; it was almost a sympathetic nervous system response to next to sensory over load. Sweet and supple with spices combinations tough to express, it's one of the only wines I've tasted where read more...

- Full red-ruby. Fragrant, nuanced nose combines redcurrant, raspberry, plum, tobacco, mocha and baking spices. Sweet and velvety but with succulent acids giving the wine terrific vinosity. Wonderfully sweet, structured and long, and highly aromatic on the aftertaste. The extra time in barrel has burned off some of the wine's baby fat and revealed its spine of acids and tannins. If the extra year of barrel aging can be said to mimic the effect of several years of bottle aging, the Hundred Acre wine from the clay-rich Kayli Morgan Vineyard should prove to be long-lived.
