Lobenberg: Kayli und Ark haben in Jedem Jahr entweder glatt 100 Punkte oder worst case mal 98+ bei Parker und bei Jeb Dunnuck. Ich freue mich sehr, dass wir erneut eine Zuteilung bekommen haben. Die Zuteilung ist allerdings so gering dass ich zum Verständnis noch mal den 2016er Text von Jeb Dunnuck zitiere: 'The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard is largely cut from the same cloth and reveals a purple/ruby hue as well as a deep, profound bouquet of blue fruits, cassis, dried violets, Asian spices, vanilla-laced coffee, and a whiff of new leather. Complex, full-bodied, and magically textured, it packs loads of fruit and opulence yet stays flawlessly balanced, has silky tannins, no hard edges and a majestic, singular personality. As with the 2015, drink this thrilling wine any time over the coming 30+ years.' 100/100

Jeb Dunnuck über: Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard

-- Jeb Dunnuck: The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard comes from a steeper, diverse site, and it's a perfect wine in this reviewer's opinion. Deep ruby/plum-hued, with incredible aromatics of red and black plums, new leather, lead pencil, and smoked tobacco, it has remarkable complexity, full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mouthfeel, and velvety tannins. It's a wine that delivers everything: richness, depth, elegance, and complexity. As with all the 2019s from Woodbridge, it's drinking spectacularly well today yet has two decades of life ahead of it. 100/100

Decanter über: Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard

-- Decanter: An outstanding and profoundly layered 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Jayson Woodbridge. I had hoped to include his Hundred Acre wines in my 2019 Napa Cabernet vintage report, but they weren’t available at the time. Had they been, they would have swept in for top honours. The reasons are many, and here, exhibited in this medium- to full-bodied Ark vineyard Cabernet are several exceptional reasons, which begin with complex aromatics of pure black cherry, blackberry, and blueberry skin, layered with nuances of cigar box, sandalwood, and vanillin. Finely-knit firm tannins build exemplary structure, balanced by crisp, blood-orange acid tension. It is a wine of very real intention to showcase the remarkable mineral superstructure beneath the ground of Ark, which is like a vertical layer cake of ancient beachfronts of red soils, black obsidian rock, and volcanic pebbles. ‘It’s a hundred million years of time sequences’, says Woodbridge, and the wine displays itself in equally complex layers of minerality, and the lingering effect is mesmerising and just draws you into the glass. Just 4.8 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon vines are planted on this 18.2 hectare property. The vines are on the steep southeast-facing slopes of Glass Mountain in St. Helena. Purchased in 1999, it’s also the site of Woodbridge’s underground Ring winery and caves. 100/100

Parker über: Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard

-- Parker: 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. 99/100

Hundred Acre

Jayson Woodbridge hat sich in kürzester Zeit einen Namen in der Szene für gehypte Weine gemacht. Seit Jahren versuche ich, eine Zuteilung zu bekommen. Er selbst gilt als extravagant, visionär, genial, arrogant, sprunghaft und konträr – alles Adjektive, mit denen man Jayson Woodbridge, Besitzer und...
