Hundred Acre Vineyard
Kayli Morgan Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
#AgedWineTuesday
Dark ruby in color with a brick rim.
Beautiful nose of blueberries, blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, mint, espresso, earth, spices, black pepper, light vegetables, eucalyptus and pencil lead.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, black plums, currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, spices, tobacco leaf, chocolates, coffee, green olives, peppercorn, earth, black tea, light vegetables and herbs.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 13 year old Cabernet Sauvignon is drinking very nicely now, although still young.
Gentle, elegant and tasty. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Nicely balanced with lots of fruits.
Tastes very much like a good quality left bank Bordeaux. Loved the nose here.
Will continue age nicely in the next 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it again in 5 years, as I see it becoming even better.
This Single Vineyard is a delicious wine that needs time to open up properly. I gave it 4 hours in the decanter.
Robert Parker 96 points.
Thank you Sonny for sharing this with me.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and good with food. Will pair nicely with BBQ Meats. I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
15.5% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
$600 (current vintage).

The deep garnet colored 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Kayli Morgan Vineyard gives up a beautiful savory/meatiness with a core of blackcurrant cordial, red currant jelly, Black Forest cake and chargrill with touches of Indian spices, star anise, cast iron pan and mossy bark with a waft of yeast extract. The palate is full-bodied with a beautiful fine-grained texture and wonderful harmony even at this relatively youthful stage, with loads of layers and a perfumed finish. @Tiffani Thiessen @Paul T- Huntington Beach

A nice treat to try 2017 from my HA friend, not yet released in the states. (Double decanted and served after 8 hours). Hundred Acre still has more professional 100pt ratings than Bond and Harlan combined.

Lots of complexity, minimal fruit (for a Napa cab)

Shed its baby fat. At its best today...won’t get any better moving forward. No milk chocolate, faint cherry filled dark chocolate nose. Little bit of cherries jubileee and cedar. While really smooth, I think these are best with 8-10yrs on them as opposed to 18 like this one. However, for what this is and how it aged, it’s pretty impressive. Also, look at the ABV here...shocking to see on a Hundred Acre wine!

Aug 11th, 2018Love the hundred acres everything typically - last Friday this wine was tight - Even after plus 2 hour decant - the next day this wine got better - a solid day
So this rating is based on one day later
