2021 Hundred Acre Fortunate Son "The Warrior" Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2021 Hundred Acre Fortunate Son "The Warrior" is a bold and impeccably crafted Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from the visionary winemaker Jayson Woodbridge, the force behind the iconic Hundred Acre label. "The Warrior" represents the pinnacle of the Fortunate Son trilogy—a wine that embodies strength, intensity, and nobility. Sourced from pedigreed vineyards in St. Helena and Rutherford, the 2021 vintage is a commanding expression of Napa terroir in a cooler, lower-yielding year that produced wines of extraordinary concentration and detail. In the glass, it opens with soaring aromatics of black cherry liqueur, violets, crushed graphite, and cocoa-dusted espresso. The palate is opulent yet finely structured, showcasing layers of ripe cassis, plum, charred herbs, and exotic spices, framed by plush tannins and a finish that resonates for minutes. Critics have already taken notice: The Wine Advocate awarded it 98+ points, lauding its "exceptional purity, luxurious texture, and seemingly endless depth," while Jeb Dunnuck gave it 97 points, calling it "a powerhouse that remains remarkably elegant." Hundred Acre was founded in 2000 and has rapidly become one of California’s most coveted cult wineries, known for its meticulous vineyard practices, no-compromise winemaking, and consistent critical acclaim. With "The Warrior," Woodbridge continues his mission of producing singular, emotionally resonant wines—this is a statement piece for collectors and aficionados alike.
