Make Your Napa Valley Collection Dreams a Reality with Fortunate Son’s ULTRA RARE ‘The Dreamer’ 2018 Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon. Made By Hundred Acre’s Multi-Time 100-Point Scoring Winemaker Jayson Woodbridge. Napa Valley winemaking phenomenon Jayson Woodbridge (of Hundred Acre fame) is known for obsessive attention to detail. With his latest project—Fortunate Son—he’s taken that obsession to another level entirely. Just look at what goes into the creation of Fortunate Son’s ‘The Dreamer’ 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from small, family vineyards (in some cases being farmed by the same family for four generations), the ultra-tiny production of this red is aged in French oak made from wood staves that are hand-selected before they’re even dried or crafted into barrels. It’s aptly named because for just about any collector, this Napa Valley rarity would be a dream bottle. Time to make YOUR collection dreams come true… (95/100) Wine Advocate: “Coming from a vineyard close to Hundred Acre's Few and Far Between vineyard and planted to 85- to 90-year-old vines, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Dreamer is made from around 92% Cabernet Sauvignon with a small proportion of unknown red varieties interplanted. Deep garnet-purple in color, it bursts with flamboyant notes of redcurrant preserves, cassis, dark chocolate, violets and red roses, plus fragrant hints of Indian spices and camphor, with a suggestion of iron ore. The medium to full-bodied palate is fabulously velvety, delivering beautiful freshness and loads of spicy layers, finishing very long. ” “The genius of Jayson Woodbridge is not in dispute. The wine quality continues to be among the most singular and profound in all of Napa Valley. ” World-renowned critic Robert Parker himself has regularly heaped the kind of praise on Woodbridge that most wine proprietors can only dream about. Woodbridge’s cult classic Hundred Acre wines have earned an unprecedented 25 perfect 100-point scores from Parker, with dozens of their releases earning an impressive 95-99 points. Woodbridge's other venture is the equally high-end, limited production Fortunate Son label, which is setting up shop at the historic vineyard and property of the more than 150-year-old David Fulton Winery.
