Purchased in 1999, the property is also home to Jayson Woodbridge’s striking underground Ring winery and caves.\u003cstrong\u003e I awarded the 2021 vintage a perfect 100 points, and this 2022 Ark continues that legacy—it’s the most polished of Woodbridge’s single-vineyard Hundred Acre wines from the vintage. \u003c\/strong\u003eIf Morgan’s Way is supreme elegance and Few and Far Between is deep, brooding, and muscular, then Ark sits perfectly in between—balanced and impressively saturated. The palate bursts with red-berry fruit, beautifully scented with brown baking spices, black tea, walnut, and a striking ironstone minerality.\"\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100 Points James Suckling: \u003c\/strong\u003e\"Black currant, hints of mint, lead pencil and black cherry aromas follow through to a full body with very fine tannins and an endless finish. \u003cstrong\u003eThe texture leaves me breathless and speechless\u003c\/strong\u003e.

It's full-bodied, has a pure, layered, graceful mouthfeel, shows classic Hundred Acre polished tannins, and delivers a great finish. It's up with the crème de la crème of the vintage, and while it's beautiful today, it will shine for at least two decades. It's another gorgeous effort from Woodbridge that's as good as anything in the vintage.
