More About the 2021 FORTUNATE SON THE WARRIOR NAPA VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON Jayson Woodbridge, one of California’s most gifted and accomplished winemakers, founded Hundred Acre in 1998 and quickly made waves. His wines landed on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list by his second vintage, and between 2002 and 2015, they garnered over twenty perfect 100-point scores from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate—a testament to his extraordinary talent. After years of searching for the ideal plots, Jayson revived his Fortunate Son brand. His “The Dreamer,” “The Diplomat,” and “The Warrior” wines are all sourced from small, family-owned vineyards and crafted with meticulous precision in Hundred Acre’s cutting-edge underground winery. The 2021 releases are truly captivating, offering immediate pleasure while promising to age gracefully for over a decade. "The Warrior is moody with deep, dark black cherry hues. It charges out of the glass with bold notes of black plums and blackberries that slowly uncover Madagascar vanilla bean and dark roast coffee. The full-bodied palate is muscular, showcasing powerful, yet fine tannins that support the fresh stone fruits. The long and captivating finish is highlighted with sparks of minerality. Aged for 34 months in 100% new French oak. We only use the finest French oak barrique with stave wood that is hand-selected for ultra-tight grain, then air dried for three years before being made into barrels."
