Hundred Acre
About Hundred Acre
The founder of Hundred Acre, Jayson Woodbridge, is something of an enigma to the world of fine wine. Despite his outspoken and sometimes contrarian nature, he almost never meets directly with any members of the wine media.
Woodbridge considers Hundred Acre to be something of a personal quest - printed on each label of his wine is the opening verse of Homer's Odyssey. This maverick winemaker altered careers fairly suddenly and drastically in the late 1990s, switching mergers and acquisitions for soil typography and harvest dates! Success as an Investment Banker has afforded Hundred Acre with an uncommon advantage over many wine producers - a healthy level of capital.
No expense is spared in crafting any of the cuvées offered by this magical estate. In fact, Woodbridge is known to take multiple decisions which fly in the face of both the prevailing wisdom and fiscal prudency in a single vintage.
His appetite for risk has been richly rewarded in the form of some 24 100pt scores across a mere 20 vintages. Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate) has described this producer as "thinking on another plane of existence", and it is hard to recall another estate anywhere in the world that has been this consistently excellent over the past decade or two.
"The wine quality continues to be among the most singular and profound in all of Napa Valley"
