Description
Hundred Acre Cabernet Sauvignon 2017Wraith Crypt
owc
Bottle (3)
The Visionary’s Cellar. This remarkable collection of California Blue Chip icons, stellar Bordeaux and more is the result of decades on coveted mailing lists and relationships carefully cultivated over more than twenty years. The consignor spared no expense in creating two extraordinary cellars: one, a showpiece of elegant lighting and design for entertaining; the other, an equally meticulous reserve for overflow of the highest caliber. Hundred Acre, Harlan Estate, Dana, Colgin—this is a titanic lineup of treasures for the discerning collector. As our generous consignor embarks on a new chapter in retirement, the fruits of his passion are now offered to our bidders. Bid with confidence—and with gusto.
“A new offspring of Wraith, produced for the first time in 2017, "This is the crypt of the wraith, based on the legend of wraith," proprietor Jayson Woodbridge told me. "It has those earthy elements, that mineral essence. This is wraith stabilized, a solid form. It spends more time in barrel (thus, the 2018 "Wraith Crypt" was still in barrel at the time of tasting). Deep garnet colored, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Wraith Crypt starts off a little muted and broody, slowly unfurling to reveal earthy notes of tilled soil and mossy bark, giving way to meaty scents of charcuterie and beef dripping before a dark-fruited core emerges: baked plums, dried mulberries and crème de cassis. The full-bodied palate contributes a complex, mineral and crushed rock kind of character, intertwined with black fruit preserves and supported by a rock-solid structure of ripe, grainy tannins, finishing with epic length and a truffle-like kick. The flavors here are so fast-shifting that they are hard to nail down, but then I imagine that's the point.” (99 pts. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, Dec. 2021)
