100/100: 2015 Wraith, "so beautifully straddles the pinnacles of hedonic and the cerebral experiences"

Hundred Acre’s ‘Wraith’ Cabernet Sauvignon is an incredible wine. A blend of selected barrels from this benchmark winery’s three famous single vineyards; Ark, Kayli Morgan and Few and Far Between (all wines capable of perfection), Wraith is easily one of Napa’s top wines. The 2015 is regarded as flawless by the Wine Advocate, so I am delighted to have cases to offer.

The three vineyards that make up the Wraith are exceptional, as is the winemaking. Jayson Woodbridge is, in the words of Robert Parker, a genius and a visionary that harvests berry by berry rather than grape by grape. This meticulous attention to detail has meant a roster of some of the finest wines made in the Napa Valley and the Wraith, the pinnacle of the Hundred Acre’s output, therefore a staggering proposition. 

The 2015 is truly remarkable and, for Lisa Perrotti-Brown, “one of those very rare wines that so beautifully straddles the pinnacles of hedonic and the cerebral experiences, forever compelling you to take just one more sip”.

A great wine. Do take a look at the below and let us know if you would like any secured:

 

2015 Hundred Acre, The Wraith Cabernet Sauvignon
5cs (3*75cl OWC) @ £1,670 per case in bond
100 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Wraith has a medium garnet-purple color and a hauntingly beautiful nose of kirsch, red roses, fragrant soil and menthol over a core of blueberry compote, raspberry pie and preserved plums plus faint glimpses of crushed rocks, lavender, tapenade and smoked meats. The palate is full-bodied, tightly knit and super intense with a solid structure of perfectly ripe, fine-grained tannins and tons of freshness, finishing very long and minerally. This is one of those very rare wines that so beautifully straddles the pinnacles of hedonic and the cerebral experiences, forever compelling you to take just one more sip.
