2019 | D 100 The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard features beguiling scents of Montreal-style smoked meat backed by waves of black cherries and cassis. It's full-bodied, rich, plush and expansive on the palate, captivating for its mix of savory and fruity flavors. Offering tons of fun in the glass, this finishes long and tannic but also smoothly silky. It's a complete wine by any measure. 2022 | JS 100 A wonderfully layered and evocative aroma profile, with blueberry compote and black cherry preserves, alongside notes of brown sugar, plum skin, and warm sweet yam. A mineral streak of crushed slate, a hint of dried rose petals, and warm enveloping notes of cigar box, fresh herbs, and a touch of graphite, round out this luxurious aroma profile. The palate is finely constructed, with a full-bodied and richly textured profile. The palate mirrors the nose with intense flavors of black cherry preserves, blueberry and plum, all on a bed of luscious and composed tannins. Mid-palate notes of charred cedar and herbs sit atop a robust acid backbone, adding depth and intrigue, and leading elegantly to a long and opulent conclusion.

2018 | Wine Independent 100 The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Dark Ark is a 100-case selection derived from Ark Vineyard barrels that were notably darker and denser than the rest.

A true powerhouse, it's clearly one of Hundred Acre's top 2018s. 2022 | D 100  A barrel selection drawn from nine distinct blocks within the Hundred Acre Ark Vineyard, Dark Ark represents the densest and most powerful expression of this site.

2014 | WA 98 Medium to deep garnet in color, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard Deep Time rolls languorously out of the glass with subtle, slowly emerging scents of redcurrant jelly, wild blueberries, mulberries and cassis plus faint wafts of forest floor, oolong tea, potpourri, menthol and Indian spices. The full-bodied palate is firm, taut and solidly structured with ripe, grainy tannins, revealing loads of very tightly wound layers with coaxing, finishing very long and purely fruited.  2018 | WA 98 The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Deep Time is a selection of barrels from all three single vineyards, held back for extended maturation. This year, the wine aged in wood for 48 months. Marked by typical cigar box aromas, it also delivers plenty of cherries, vanilla and a hint of cassis. It's full-bodied, rich and undeniably woody, yet still retains ample freshness and length. It reminds me a bit of some Riojas, for its wood presence and elegance, but with more power and fruit weight, like some of Chris RIngland's long-aged releases of Barossa Shiraz. Idiosyncratic but delicious, it's another top-class effort from proprietor Jayson Woodbridge. About Winery Hundred Acre is not simply a winery—it is a legend carved into Napa’s hillsides.

2017 | JD 99 Deep garnet colored, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Few and Far Between prances out with fragrant earth and underbrush scents over a warm cassis and blackberry preserves core, plus wafts of unsmoked cigars and mossy tree bark. The medium to full-bodied palate reveals a perfumed, graceful expression of the vintage, featuring silky tannins and a lively backbone, finishing with a spicy kick. 2018 | JD 100 The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Few And Far Between Vineyard is pure magic and tops out my scale. From a site near Eisele Vineyard, it has a complex bouquet of red, blue, and black fruits as well as new leather, freshly sharpened pencils, bouquet garni, and assorted spices. Deep, full-bodied, ripe, and sexy, it shows the structured, pure, precise style of the 2018 vintage while bringing classic Hundred Acre depth, richness, and length.

2019 | WA 93 Fortunate Son's 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Dreamer is a cool, menthol-scented offering, with a base of ripe cherries grounded in cedary oak. Medium to full-bodied, with a smooth, silky feel, this is nicely judged and balanced, with a long, elegant finish 2022 | D 97 The Dreamer 2022 fills the mouth with dark cherry and raspberry fruit, layered with leather, tobacco, and crushed cocoa nibs.

2018 | WA 94 The single-vineyard 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Warrior displays hints of cooling menthol, boisterous cherries, earthy loam and classic cigar-box notes. It's medium to full-bodied, slightly cool, silky and fine, with a long, elegant finish. 2019 | D 97 Warrior is an iron fist of a Cabernet that is profoundly structured with exotic layers of fruit, spices, florals, and a wealth of ironstone minerals. Swelling with a full-bodied richness of creamy textured blackberry and black cherry fruit, plus liquorice with hints of spearmint laced with tobacco. Pixelated tannins build the stature and presence of the wine on the palate, and the finish is long with wet slate. It is a complete and harmonious wine of freshness, power, and grace.

2022 | TP 95 Napa Valley benefited from abundant winter rainfall; this set the stage for mild spring weather leading to an even, early budbreak in April 2022. Overall, the growing season brought plenty of sunshine, with temperatures typically hovering in the high 80s to low 90s. However, the beginning of September saw a sweltering heatwave throughout California that accelerated berry ripeness levels and Brix accumulation. Fortunately, cooler weather followed, giving the vines a timely break and preserving the balanced flavors Napa Valley is known for. We hand-harvested our Cabernet Sauvignon from Carol’s Vineyard into half-ton bins on September 14th and 15th. The berries were sorted using the Pellenc Selectiv system, then destemmed and crushed with the Pellenc Extractiv system. THE J LOHR STORY Fifty years ago, Jerry Lohr embarked on a career change. What followed would reshape the landscape of the California wine industry and create one of the country’s most popular wine brands. In the late 1960s, Jerry Lohr began an extensive investigation of California grape growing regions – searching for the ideal location for his first vineyard. Jerry was raised on a South Dakota farm; his agricultural roots armed him with an innate sense for the relationship between climate, soil, and location. His research and instincts led him to the Central Coast, an area just beginning to explore its potential for winegrowing. Four decades ago, the California Central Coast had not yet emerged as one of North America’s world-class winegrowing regions. With little history or viticultural precedent, planting on the Central Coast was a gamble. One of a handful of early pioneers, Jerry Lohr was among the first to realize the inherent potential of Monterey and Paso Robles for producing high quality grapes and superb wines. PIONEERING MONTEREY AND PASO ROBLES -JERRY LOHR LEGACY-It’s no coincidence that the Central Coast’s emergence as a world class winegrowing region runs parallel with the establishment and growth of J. Lohr Vineyards & Winery. Founder Jerry Lohr is one of the region’s pioneers and has played a larger-than-life role in bringing the area to prominence. Jerry’s instincts led him to two regions located about 75 miles apart. In the early 1970s, he chose Monterey County’s Arroyo Seco district for its cool, windy climate and rocky soils as ideal for Chardonnay. In the 1980s, he recognized the potential of Paso Robles for growing Bordeaux varietals, especially Cabernet Sauvignon – given the area’s rich soils and dramatic diurnal temperature swings between warm days and cool nights. After Jerry Lohr’s nearly decade-long search for the right place to plant his first vineyard, he chose a site in Monterey County that was to become the heart of the Arroyo Seco appellation. Jerry originally planted 280 acres in 1972 and 1973 near Greenfield. Monterey County’s Arroyo Seco appellation has proved ideal for growing layered, complex Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Brisk winds and fog off Monterey Bay, stony, well-drained soils, and a lack of damaging fall rains all combine to produce grapes with trademark fruit intensity and balancing acidity. In 1974, Jerry unveiled the first J. Lohr winery in San Jose. In the early 1980s, Jerry Lohr saw the potential for great Cabernet Sauvignon further south. Borrowing a lesson from the French—that great Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon excel in very different growing conditions—Jerry began planting Cabernet Sauvignon and other red varieties in San Luis Obispo County’s little-known Paso Robles region in 1986. With the hands-on devotion of an artisan farmer, Jerry tended to the vines while diligently working toward the creation and development of an adjacent winery and barreling cellars; J. Lohr’s Paso Robles production facility was opened in 1988.
