Fortunate Son The Warrior Cabernet Sauvignon
Single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon for those that admire subtle elegance and not-so-subtle power. Dark, brooding and amazing.
Extremely Rare wine to get hold of. We are only allowed 6 so once they are gone they are gone.
Jayson Woodbridge has found enviable success with his Hundred Acre Cabernets. His meticulous attention to detail is virtually unrivaled in the Napa Valley, and the numerous 100-point scores his Hundred Acre Cabernets have been awarded, along with the demand for the wines, show that this man does NOTHING, if it's not going to be done to its 100% potential.
Jayson was obsessed with the early farming families of the Napa Valley, and he sought out several of them in hopes to farm their vineyards and bring their fruit to a level that they couldn't have imagined when their forefathers bought their lands so long ago. Fortunate Son is a wine collective of these vineyards and grapes from those sites. The vineyards and wines are treated with the same standards as Jayson's legacy brand Hundred Acre, and will be a growing collection of wines from these heritage vineyards that are scattered throughout Napa.
ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 96+ POINTS - "The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Warrior is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, coming from a single vineyard. Deep garnet-black colored, it gallops out of the glass with bold notes of creme de cassis, black plums and boysenberries, plus hints of cedar chest, pencil lead, tilled soil and tar, with wafts of cumin seed and menthol. Full-bodied, the palate is taut and muscular, featuring firm, grainy tannins supporting the layers of tightly wound, impactful and wonderfully pure black fruits, finishing with an impressive display of mineral sparks."

The Vineyard
Fortunate Son is one of the more recent wine projects from critically acclaimed winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge of Hundred Acre fame. The wines are sourced from heritage micro-block sites that showcase the quality of the vineyards that are the bedrock of the early history of the Napa Valley. Each Fortunate Son wine is made with the same meticulous winemaking and farming practices as the flagship wine, Hundred Acre. They represent a commitment to quality and craftsmanship that very few wineries in the world can match.
