Fortunate Son The Dreamer 2021 by Hundred Acre Napa Cabernet

 
The Wine Independent 96 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Moving to the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated releases, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon The Dreamer has a sensational perfume of crème de cassis, spring flowers, graphite, and sweet, loamy earth-like nuances. It's pure, medium to full-bodied, has a vibrant, layered mouthfeel, and gorgeous tannins.

Decanter Magazine Review
Rated 97
100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 30–32 months in ultra-tight grain French oak barriques. The wine displays a shimmering, lucid ruby color. Gorgeous, dusty, dark berry fruit unfolds with an incredible panoply of mulled Christmas spices and warm berry pie compote. Full-bodied and texturally defined, framed by a core of ultra-fine tannins with added dark berry fruit depth. It is a meal unto itself but better paired with roasted meats drizzled in rich plum sauce and accompanied by prosciutto-wrapped figs. Drinking Window 2024-2040.

Wine Tasting Notes
This Fortunate Son by Hundred Acre The Dreamer Napa Cabernet is dark and brooding, a wine of elegance, fine and structured tannins, and basically the wine-equivalent of a Wagner piece on a stormy night after unexpectedly making an enormous sum of money. In other words, it is pure magic with rock bloody solid complexity on a very high level.
