Hundred Acre ‘Ark Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

99 Points | Jeb Dunnuck

The Hundred Acre ‘Ark Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is unquestionably cut from the same cloth as the base Ark Vineyard, although, as the name suggests, it is slightly darker and more mineral-laced. Dense purple-hued, with powerful notes of blue fruits, smoked tobacco, violets, and damp earth, it has perfectly integrated background oak, ripe, building, flawless tannins, and a great, great finish, and I love its purity of fruit. This is going to benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age and keep through 2045. (Feb 2023)

99 Points | Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Deep garnet-purple coloured, the Hundred Acre ‘Ark Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 delivers powerful scents of blackberry preserves, chocolate-covered cherries and stewed plums, giving way to red and black currant jelly, beef drippings and wild fungi. Full-bodied, tightly wound and shimmering with tension in the mouth, it has a solid frame of firm, grainy tannins supporting the reticent fruit, finishing savoury and with lots of latent energy. All the signs say that this baby is holding back right now and has more to give with considerable cellaring. Tuck it away for at least 5–6 years and then enjoy it over the next 40 years+. (Dec 2021)
