Weingut om: Cabernet Sauvignon Few & Far between Vineyard

All Hundred Acre wines are made by a very exacting standard in the vineyard. Pruning to one cluster [per shoot], harvesting in multiple passes [five or more], sorting the fruit berry by berry, fermenting in small, French oak fermenters, and long aging in the finest barriques. The secret to Hundred Acre is no compromise and no detail overlooked, ever. The Few and Far Between vineyard, Hundred Acre's smallest production and smallest vineyard, is truly a staggeringly beautiful place in the world—many have said it's magical. It's also home to Jayson and Helen Woodbridge.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Cabernet Sauvignon Few & Far between Vineyard

Probably my favorite in the entire lineup, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Few and Far Between comes from a tiny site just outside of Calistoga formerly known as the Pickett Road Vineyard. Like the 2015, the 2016 includes a touch of Cabernet Franc and spent the usual 32 months in 100% new French oak. This full-bodied, majestic Napa Valley Cabernet reveals a dense purple hue, awesome crème de cassis and kirsch fruit, amazing complexity in its spicy, sandalwood, and floral aromatics, and a massive yet elegant, lengthy personality. The texture is through the roof, it’s as seamless and polished as they come, perfectly balanced, and while I’d happily drink bottles today, my money is on this evolving for 3-4 decades. 100/100

Parker om: Cabernet Sauvignon Few & Far between Vineyard

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Few and Far Between is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. Medium garnet in color, it comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of dried cherries, boysenberry preserves, blackcurrant pastilles and charcuterie with hints of chocolate mint, rose oil and licorice, plus a waft of cardamom. The rich, full-bodied palate is tightly knit and youthful, delivering great tension among the layers upon layers of minerals, black fruits and floral notes, finishing very long and incredibly perfumed. Gorgeous. 100/100
