Hundred Acre Morgan's Way Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 - 1.5 Litre Bottle
This ultra-premium red wine originates from the Napa Valley region of California, specifically from the Morgan's Way Vineyard (formerly known as Kayli Morgan) located toward the base of Howell Mountain. Established by Jayson Woodbridge, a former investment banker, Hundred Acre has become one of Napa Valley's most iconic cult wineries since its debut in 2000. The winemaking philosophy is defined by an obsessive 'no compromise' approach, which includes sorting fruit berry by berry and limiting yields to just one grape cluster per vine to ensure maximum concentration and purity.
Wine Description
The 2019 Hundred Acre Morgan's Way Cabernet Sauvignon presents a deep garnet-purple hue. The sensory profile is flamboyant and multi-layered, bursting with aromas of black cherries, blackcurrant preserves, and blackberry pie, complemented by nuances of Madagascar vanilla, cigar box, and Chinese five spice. On the palate, the wine is powerful and full-bodied, yet it maintains a remarkable tension and liveliness. Its texture is velvety and tightly wound, featuring perfectly ripe, fine-grained tannins that lead into an exceptionally long, spiced, and minerally finish. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon has an ABV of 15.5% and is aged for extended periods in 100% new French oak. While the estate follows meticulous hand-farming practices, it does not hold official organic certification.
Food Pairing
The intense concentration and firm tannic structure of this Cabernet Sauvignon make it an ideal partner for rich, fatty meats such as a grilled ribeye or a New York strip steak served with a dark mushroom or peppercorn sauce. It also pairs beautifully with roasted lamb seasoned with rosemary and thyme, which complements the wine's herbal and spicy undertones. For a savoury vegetarian option, a creamy mushroom risotto or eggplant parmesan offers a heavy texture that can stand up to the wine's bold profile.
Vintage Quality
The 2019 vintage in Napa Valley is regarded as exceptional and 'bucolic,' characterized by a long, steady growing season with few heat spikes. These near-ideal conditions allowed for gradual ripening and extended hang time, resulting in wines with deep colour, plush tannins, and great aromatic complexity. Winemakers successfully navigated the season to produce high-quality fruit that exhibits both power and a classic structural balance.
