Collector Wines

Some wines are so good, you almost feel bad while uncorking the bottle. You’d much rather stockpile them in your cellar until you have a collection to rival Dionysus himself. The journey to find the most tempting and inaccessible collector’s wines can be difficult and stressful, but the end result is always worth it. If the stars align, you end up with a selection of wines so awe-inspiring, you just want to sit in your cellar and admire them. There is no occasion in the world that you can’t contribute to with a bottle of extra-rare fine wine, and you can compete with other local collectors and try to outbid them for choice bottles.

The main issue when it comes to acquiring highly collectible bottles is that they’re often hard to obtain. It makes sense, of course – the most prestigious collectibles are the least accessible bottles, ones that can sometimes necessitate a 10-year wait. Also, it should go without saying that many of the world’s finest blends cost a pretty high amount of money. However, that isn’t the case for all of them. At some point, it all comes down to developing an eye for the market and being able to recognize which wines to target before they’re declared classic masterpieces by the general populace.

This is where we come in. We’ve arranged a selection of extremely well-made and luxurious collector’s wines, ones that will make even the most stoic and emotionless critic drop to their knees in sheer envy. Every wine on this page is a veritable work of art, a bottle you can bring out when making a good impression is more important than anything else.

2022 Fortunate Son The Warrior

Black currants and black berries, with a transparency that lets beautiful pine needles and sage shine through. Full-bodied with a very fine velvet texture. Extremely long and delicious. Intense finish. Amazing length The owner is Hundred Acre, and it’s coming through clearly. Drink or hold.James Suckling | 99 JS“This is the first step into Hundred Acre territory,” says Jayson Woodbridge, “an entry point before graduating to the higher prices of the main label.” It’s a profound wine indeed. The Warrior is deep, dense, and penetrating, with mineral freshness and pure, ripe currant fruit of remarkable clarity. Crushed cocoa nibs, explosive elegance, and a brightness of fruit combine with California forest aromatics—like walking through a redwood grove on a rainy day. The palate swells with layers of wet redwood, scorched earth, and sagebrush, underpinned by incredibly fragrant, mineral-laced tannins. Salty crushed stone and cast iron notes meet creamy-textured blackberry and cherry fruit, with cigar box and cedar spice lingering on the long, full-bodied finish. Jayson Woodbridge, founder of Hundred Acre, purchased the historic David Fulton Vineyard on Fulton Lane in St. Helena, which now serves as the home of Fortunate Son. The site includes six hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon vines managed by Jim Barbour. In 2023, Woodbridge appointed his son, Cameron, as cellar master.Decanter Magazine | 98 DECA single vineyard 100% Cabernet Sauvignon made with the same care as the Hundred Acre releases, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Warrior was puncheon fermented and aged 32 months in 100% new French oak. Sweet cassis, black raspberries, savory flowers, incense, and baking spice notes all shine here, and it’s another upfront, charming, forward effort that has ripe, polished tannins, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish. It’s very much in the perfumed, expressive style of Jayson’s releases and is already hard to resist. It’s going to evolve gracefully on its overall balance and purity. Drink 2025-2045.Jeb Dunnuck | 95 JD
