2001 Hundred Acre, Kayli Morgan Deep Time, Napa Valley, [Rare First Vintage, 100 Cases], Case of 3 Btls

RP97 An experimental cuvee (only 100 cases will be sold via the mailing list) is the 2001 Deep Time. Enjoying a much longer upbringing in barrel (36 months), this wine seems to have more concentration than the regular cuvee but no more toasty oak. This is one of the advantages of long oak aging if you have the raw materials to begin with. Certainly, Jason Woodbridge working with his renowned consultant Philippe Melka, has done something special with this special cuvee. It is more structured and tannic, and not as accessible as the regular bottling.
