Product Description
Hundred Acre Dark Ark Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 represents the pinnacle of Hundred Acre's legendary Ark Vineyard—a micro-selection of just 100 cases from the darkest, densest barrels in the cellar. Founded by Jayson Woodbridge, Hundred Acre consistently earns 100-point scores and cult status for producing some of Napa Valley's most powerful, age-worthy Cabernets from biodynamically farmed, single-vineyard sites.
Triple-Digit Scoring Powerhouse
Critics awarded extraordinary scores: Wine Advocate 98+ points, Jeb Dunnuck 99 points, and Wine Independent 100 points. Deep garnet-purple in color, the wine offers gregarious aromas of stewed plums, crème de cassis, Christmas pudding, Chinese five spice, lavender, iron ore, smoked meats, and truffles.
Concentrated, Brooding & Velvety
The full-bodied palate reveals tightly packed layers of black cherries, cassis, blackberry preserves, blue fruits, violets, and damp earth, supported by super fine-grained, ripe tannins and energetic tension. The finish is long, velvety, and enticingly restrained—a true powerhouse with impeccable purity of fruit. Drinking window: 2025-2050.
