2018 | Fortunate Son | Cabernet Sauvignon The Diplomat

Notes of Morello cherries, mulberries, and black raspberries, over a profound core of warm cassis, hoisin and blackberry pie, with wafts of licorice and unsmoked cigars.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Jayson Woodbridge calls this a “21st Century Claret.” The blend is mainly Cabernet Sauvignon with a good dollop of Merlot and a dash of Petite Sirah. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Diplomat comes skipping out with bright notes of Morello cherries, mulberries, and black raspberries, over a profound core of warm cassis, hoisin and blackberry pie, with wafts of licorice and unsmoked cigars. The generous, full-bodied palate is soft and plush, featuring a powerful black fruit core with a lively backbone and loads of layers on the earthy finish.

Producer Information

Jayson Woodbridge, owner/winemaker of Hundred Acre & Fortunate Son, is a renegade vintner. Robert Parker describes Jayson as "one of the wine world's most compelling, outspoken, irreverent, bigger-than-life personalities, who can get away with just about anything he wants to say or do simply because year after year he proves what great wine is all about." Since his first vintage in 2000, he has consistently produced the most opulent, luxurious, critically revered, and sought-after wines in the Napa Valley. Parker has bequeathed a bevy of 100-point scores to his wines, making for a waitlist of over five years to acquire them from the winery. Hundred Acre has received over TWENTY 100-point scores from Parker and the Wine Advocate! With the launch of Fortunate Son Wines, Jayson is looking to add another "championship belt" to his collection; and we at ACME are sitting ringside, ready to cheer on his new knock-out lineup.
