Hundred Acre is one of Napa Valley’s most iconic cult Cabernet Sauvignon producers, widely regarded as a benchmark for ultra-premium, small-production Napa wine. Founded by Jayson Woodbridge, the estate has built a formidable reputation for producing intensely concentrated, single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons that consistently command some of the highest prices and critical scores in the region.
The Hundred Acre philosophy is centred on extreme vineyard selection and minimal intervention in terms of blending. Each bottling is sourced from a specific, meticulously chosen vineyard site, allowing the wines to express distinct terroir identities while maintaining the unmistakable Hundred Acre house style of density, ripeness and power.
The vineyards selected for Hundred Acre are among Napa Valley’s most coveted sites, typically characterised by low-yielding vines, well-drained soils and favourable exposures. These conditions naturally limit production and concentrate flavour, forming the backbone of the estate’s signature intensity and structural authority.
In the cellar, winemaking is unapologetically focused on maximising concentration and longevity. Long macerations, careful extraction and significant oak ageing are used to build wines of formidable structure and depth. The resulting style is bold and opulent, yet crafted to evolve over many years, appealing to collectors who prioritise power, rarity and long-term ageing potential.
For collectors and investors, Hundred Acre represents the pinnacle of cult Napa Cabernet. The wines are released in extremely limited quantities, often achieving perfect or near-perfect critical scores and commanding strong secondary-market demand. As a result, Hundred Acre has become a blue-chip name in the world of California fine wine, synonymous with exclusivity, intensity and prestige.
