FORTUNATE SON 2019
Jayson Woodbridge is one of California’s most well-known, talented winemakers who founded Hundred Acre in 1998. His wines have made the Wine Spectator Top 100 list in his second vintage and earned more than twenty perfect 100-point scores from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate between 2002 and 2015.
Jayson resurrected his Fortunate Son brand after years of searching for the ideal plots, and “The Dreamer,” “The Diplomat,” and “The Warrior” all come from small, family-owned vineyards, crafted in Hundred Acre’s state-of-the-art underground winery with the same precision and attention to detail.
Critics agree, the 2019 vintage shows outstanding quality for Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux varietals: rated 96 by Wine Advocate, 96 by Vinous (“2019 is a very high-quality vintage of Cabernets….”); and 97 Wine Spectator (“Wines are ripe and lush yet well-defined; a worthy follow-up to the benchmark 2018 vintage”).
2019 FORTUNATE SON ‘THE DIPLOMAT’
PROPRIETARY RED | NAPA VALLEY
$175
Tasting Notes: “The Merlot-dominated 2019 The Diplomat comes from a handful of sites and would give a great Pomerol a run for its money with its darker red and black fruits, smoky herbs, and earthy goodness on the nose. These carry to a full-bodied, rounded, opulent 2019 with sweet, building tannins and a great finish. Give it a few years.” 94 Points | Jeb Dunnuck
2019 FORTUNATE SON ‘THE DREAMER’
CABERNET SAUVIGNON | NAPA VALLEY
$175
Tasting Notes: “Coming from two vineyards, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Dreamer sports a vivid purple hue to go with beautiful aromatics of darker currants, ripe cranberries, leafy tobacco, and spring flowers. I love its balance, it’s medium to full-bodied, has gorgeous tannins, and a great finish.” 96 Points | Jeb Dunnuck
2019 FORTUNATE SON ‘THE WARRIOR’
CABERNET SAUVIGNON | NAPA VALLEY
$400
Tasting Notes: “The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Warrior is riveting stuff, offering an incredible array of sweet darker currants, tobacco leaf, lead pencil, and classy oak. It’s a big, rich wine, yet it’s not over the top and has a semi-opaque purple hue, medium to full body, seamless tannins, and a layered, silky, incredibly satisfying style that’s going to evolve for two decades.”
