The 2021 Fortunate Son, "The Dreamer" Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley by Hundred Acre was a Merchant's Pick
YOLO - Hundred Acre's Newest Cabernet Sauvignon!
August 25, 2025
Hundred Acre is a name that needs no introduction. When it comes to California reds, this producer is among the pinnacle of perfection.
With a five-year waiting list and a price pushing $500/bottle, meticulous attention to winemaking detail has earned Hundred Acre's flagship wine seventy-eight 100-point scores from various critics. Six of the 100-point ratings came from 2021 alone.
Enter "The Dreamer" - the winery's inaugural release, which continues the Hundred Acre tradition at a more approachable price point.
The wine displays a shimmering, lucid ruby color. Gorgeous, dusty, dark berry, fruit unfolds with an incredible panoply of mulled Christmas spices and warm berry pie compote. Full-bodied and texturally defined, framed by a core of ultra-fine tannins and with added dark berry fruit depth.” Decanter
A Cellar Trophy - Typically a Restaurant Exclusive
There was no 2020 vintage due to the apocalyptic fires, and so 2021 - a stunning vintage - is the inaugural release of "The Dreamer" Cabernet Sauvignon.
A YOLO wine worth every penny, the label prominently features the phrase: “You only live once.” It underscores the idea of enjoying rare, exclusive pleasures while you can—highlighting both the wine’s exclusivity and desire to indulge.
We have a small window to access this wine before it finds its way to restaurants and the mailing lists (as we've seen with Hundred Acre's flagship wine).
Cabernet collectors are going to want to add The Dreamer to their cellars as it is a rare opportunity to experience the Hundred Acre wines.
YOLO.
Enjoy!
