WINEMAKER NOTES:
WRAITH is a trinity of Hundred Acre’s three single vineyard wines. It is a selection of barrels set aside in the cellar from those waiting to be blended someday into the single vineyard wines from Kayli Morgan, ARK or Few and Far Between. All very di fferent and incredibly unique. Th e WRAITH shows all the beauty and personality of each individual vineyard and how they come together to develop even greater complexity. — Jayson Woodbridge, Winemaker
VINEYARD NOTES:
WRAITH is all about the chance to experience the three incredible creatures (the Hundred Acre single vineyards) working together in symphony and perfect harmony to tell you about the vintage in all of its glory. In all of our vineyards, we pick only when the fruit is perfectly ripe; this doesn’t always happen at once. It is common for us to make multiple passes through the vineyard, picking di fferent clusters from the same vines as they reach perfect maturity. is attention to detail is critical to making a wine the caliber of Hundred Acre.
VINTAGE NOTES:
Th e 2015 vintage will forever be defi ned as the height of the drought in Napa Valley. Th e vines were under tremendous stress with a warm, long growing season and very limited access to water. These drought conditions led to small berries, tight clusters and tremendous concentration. Unfortunately, these conditions also led to signifi cantly lower yields than the 2014 vintage.
COOPERAGE:
Aged for 40 months in the nest French oak barrique. The stave wood is hand-selected for ultra-tight grain, then air dried for three years before being made into barrels.
