Hundred Acre Cabernet
Napa cult Cabernet, poured in Commack for thirty years.
The story behind Hundred Acre
Hundred Acre began in 1998 when Jayson Woodbridge, a former investment banker from Canada, bought his first Napa Valley vineyard plot. The debut vintage landed in 2000. The name comes from his children, who called the forest they played in the Hundred Acre Wood before it became vines.
The farming is obsessive. Vines are pruned to a single cluster each, harvest runs up to five passes per block, and fruit ferments in 500 liter French oak puncheons. Aging runs 24 to 42 months in 100% new French oak, all of it underground in the Ring winery beneath the Ark Vineyard. Every bottle carries a 24 carat gold ring fired into the glass.
