Summer Dreams Description
Over his 25-year winemaking career, Jayson Woodbridge is an uncompromising winemaker that has been primarily focused on Bordeaux varietals in the Napa Valley under the Hundred Acre label and the recipient of more than 61, 100-point scores.
Over the last decade the unique soils and extreme conditions of the West Sonoma Coast created a new obsession for Jayson to create site specific vineyard driven wines from this special place in California
Super opulent, intense wildflowers, dark red fruit, cherry cobbler, raspberry, and strawberries with hints of Asian spice, leather, and minerals as with them all they are whole berry fermented in the finest French oak barrels and some small open top fermenters. This is a medium bodied wine packed with elegant subtle notes, perfect for summer and early fall or with meals where subtly and complexity must dance across the palate.
Sourced from an Annapolis vineyard each hillside site is chosen for the generous slope, unique sequence of Goldridge soils, ranging from 900 – 1900 feet above sea level, and microclimate to add dimension to the wines. A rare, fine-grained sandy loam, Goldridge soils are known for excellent drainage, and a characteristically light and fluffy texture.
Some of the particularly unique sites have Goldridge layered on top of ancient seabed where finding fossils in the soil is not unusual and a clay content that helps the soil retain precious moisture during the growing season.
The coastal climate of the region is marked by warm, dry summers and cool, damp winters.
"The 2021 Pinot Noir Twilight has a darker edge in its blackberry and darker fruits as well as notes of black tea, peppery herbs, and a kiss of earthy minerality. Medium-bodied on the palate, with good acidity and a focusing spine of both acidity and tannins, this beauty will benefit from a year or two and shine through 2031."-Jeb Dunnuck 96 points
