Description
Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon Ark 2017
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard possesses a deep, profound bouquet of blue-black fruit, cassis, dried violets, korean spices, dark roasted coffee, and a hint of well-worn leather. Complex, full-bodied, and supremely textured, it keeps coming back with loads of fruit and opulence Hundred Acre Ark Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon yet stays perfectly balanced, has silky tannins, smooth edges and a royal, singular personality.
Critical Acclaim
98 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-black colored, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard unfurls sensuously from the glass with provocative scents of baked black cherries, plum preserves and crème de cassis, with emerging suggestions of fragrant earth, black truffles, Chinese five spice and dusty soil. Full-bodied, rich and oh-so-spicy on the palate, it has a rock-solid backbone of grainy tannins and lively acidity supporting the opulent fruit, finishing very long and exotic. This is a surprisingly decadent and powerful expression of 2017!
96 Jeb Dunnuck
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard is darker and more masculine, with lots of black and almost blue fruits as well as violets, bouquet garni, and earthy, forest floor-like nuances. I love its texture, it’s full-bodied, has ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s slightly more round and accessible compared to the Dark Ark release, but both are brilliant wines.
