The Wine Independent: 96 Points
Deep garnet-purple colored the 2021 The Dreamer Cabernet Sauvignon bursts with bold cassis baked plums and boysenberries notes followed by hints of camphor violets and dark chocolate. The medium to full-bodied palate has a solid frame of bright freshness and firm grainy tannins supporting the muscular black fruits finishing long with a lively lift. Fortunate Son is owned by Jayson and Helen Woodbridge of Hundred Acre. It?s named after their son Cameron who is a recent college graduate and is increasingly taking on winemaking responsibilities here. ?Fortunate Son is made from small parcels of old vines? says Jayson. ?Some are 80 years or older. And The Warrior is a single vineyard Cabernet. These are all family-owned vineyards that had to sell fruit to big wineries for years. I would buy these vineyards if I could but because they?re family-owned they?re not often for sale. We bought Wallis Ranch for this project so there will be single vineyard wines from David Fulton and Wallis Ranch in the future.? Reviewed by: Lisa Perrotti-Brown Review date: 2024-12-18
