Hundred Acre Vineyard
Fortunate Son "The Warrior" Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Deep purple in color with a reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, dried figs, light earth, cedar, black tea, light vanilla, tobacco leaf and black pepper.
Full-bodied, bold and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and fruit forward with cedar, light vanilla, blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, spices, chocolates, black coffee, tobacco leaf, black tea, licorice, black pepper and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 7 year old Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is starting to drink very nicely now, although still young. Concentrated and extracted.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after a few hours of airtime.
Wine Advocate 95 points.
This Cabernet Sauvignon from the house of Hundred Acre is still young, and needs 5 years in the bottle to mature properly. Fruit forward, very complex and elegant.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Has good potential to become a 95+ point wine.
Gorgeous by itself as a sipping wine, and will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in new French Oak barrels for 30 months.
15.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$400.

Ruby in color with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim.
Strong nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and fruit forward.
Showing red and blue fruits with cedar, licorice, chocolates, vanilla, coffee, spices and peppercorn.
This Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is soft and elegant, and nicely balanced.
Already showing great complexity, although still very young and needs another 5 years in the bottle to mature. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
Doesn't show like a Napa Cabernet at this point. I had the 2019 recently and it was drinking very differently. Very interesting.
Good by itself as a sipping wine.

Top of the line of the Fortunate Son label. Would agree that it drinks better than the other 2.
