HUNDRED ACRE ARK
Hundred Acre
2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014
All Hundred Acre wines are made by sorting the fruit berry by berry, fermenting in small French oak fermenters, and long aging in the finest barriques. The secret to Hundred Acre is no compromise and no detail overlooked, ever. The single estate vineyard ARK is located just outside St. Helena, California, at the base of Howell Mountain. It was originally planted in the 1880’s, but was sadly lost to Prohibition. It took us five years to rebuild; she is our pride and joy. As with all of our vineyards, we pick only when the fruit is perfectly ripe; this doesn’t always happen at once. It is common for us to make multiple passes through the vineyard, picking different clusters from the same vines as they reach perfect maturity. This attention to detail is critical to making a wine the caliber of Hundred Acre..

“Brunate”; Barolo is without a doubt the noblest creation of the nebbiolo grape, and in Marcarini’s “Brunate” selection it finds one of its highest quality expressions. For several generations, our family has owned a considerable part of the Brunate vineyards; Brunate has been recognized as one of the Langhe’s most important cru zones since the 1300s, and today is officially recognized as a Menzione Geografica Aggiuntiva. This precious denomination has been indicated on our bottles since 1958.
A note about
Vertical Tastings
A vertical wine tasting allows you to try the same wine from the same producer over the course of different harvest years. Changes in climate, winery staff and even the age of wines can create variations between years.
If you are looking to discover how a wine has changed both over time and how each year can produce a different wine, a vertical is a great way to discover a new dimension to wine. By tasting a vertical of the same wine from the same winery, you gain an extra appreciation for the differences and impact of a vintage on the wine.
Soil
Soil plays a key role in the overall taste and production of the wine. Soil gives the vine nutrients while drainage characteristics ensure the roots don’t become over saturated.
Climate
Vineyards are affected by climate change every year. These changes in weather patterns have an impact on the grapes and ultimately the taste of the wine.
Grapes
As vines age changes in taste can occur. There are vineyards with vines that are hundreds of years old, and continue to produce highly sought after wines.
Horizontal
In a horizontal wine tasting, the wines are the same vintage but come from different wineries (keeping the wine variety and region the same) This allows you to get a sense of the differences between winemakers.
Vineyard
The quality of the wine is ultimately determined by the grapes. Vineyards focus on time of harvest, pruning methods and soil minerals and acidity, often referred to as the grapes terroir.
Wine Making
The science behind making wine is called oenology. Winemakers can be referred to as a “vintner” Ready to drink wines can be made in a few months from harvest to over 20 years!
