Hundred Acre Kayli Morgan Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 1.5L is a magnum-format single-vineyard Cabernet from Hundred Acre Kayli Morgan parcel, bottled in 1.5-litre format from the cooler 2010 California vintage. It is an early vintage from this site, released in magnum format.
About This Wine
Kayli Morgan 2010 is from the Hundred Acre named-vineyard line, with fruit picked as a discrete lot from the home vineyard east of St Helena. The 2010 California vintage was a cool year that produced structured, restrained Cabernet Sauvignon across Napa Valley. Magnum format bottles are released in small numbers and benefit from long cellaring in 1.5L format.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Blackcurrant, dark cherry, graphite, cedar, sweet vanilla and a savoury, cool-vintage lift.
- Palate: Concentrated and structured, with dark fruit, fine-grained tannin, chocolate, oak spice and a layered mid-palate.
- Finish: Sustained, with ripe dark fruit, firm tannins, mocha, cedar and a savoury close.
Serving & Food
Decant for an hour before pouring; the magnum format suits slow-cooked lamb shoulder, or aged hard cheeses with bread.
How to Enjoy
Open for a Hundred Acre horizontal where the 2010 Kayli Morgan can sit alongside the 2007 and later magnums from the same site.

About the Winery
Hundred Acre is a single-vineyard, single-varietal Napa Valley Cabernet producer, with the winery based in the St Helena end of the valley. The line includes the Kayli Morgan parcel east of St Helena, the Ark Vineyard, Few and Far Between and the Wraith, each bottled as a separate wine. Founder Jayson Woodbridge launched the project in 2000 with French-born consultant Philippe Melka in the cellar. Cabernet Sauvignon is the sole variety, and each lot is parcel out in tiny lot sizes from its named block.
