Deep garnet-purple colored the 2021 Morgan's Way Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon needs a lot of shaking to wake up savory scents of beef drippings black olives and Indian spices leading to a core of blackcurrant cordial boysenberries and mulberries. Full-bodied the palate is densely laden with energetic muscular black and blue fruit flavors supported by firm granular tannins and perfectly balanced freshness finishing on a lingering ferrous note. Morgan?s Way was Jayson Woodbridge?s first Hundred Acre vineyard purchase. It was initially called ?Kayli Morgan Vineyard? an amalgamation of his daughter?s name Morgan and that of his business partner?s daughter. Jayson has recently bought the partner out; thus the name has been changed. About nine acres in size Morgan?s Way is a relatively flat site located in a protected little pocket among the hills at the base of Howell Mountain on the way out of St. Helena and headed toward Calistoga. It may look flat but it is in fact a clay-over-gravel ?button? with a gentle rise in the middle of the property. There are at least a couple notable soil and topographical similarities to Pétrus in Pomerol to which it was compared by Jayson?s first consultant winemaker Philippe Melka. Morgan?s Way was first planted in 1996 all to Cabernet Sauvignon. In some vintages there is an almost Pétrus-like restraint and ferrous edge to the wines from this place. The first Hundred Acre wine was 2000 Kayli Morgan Vineyard. Reviewed by: Lisa Perrotti-Brown Review date: 2024-12-18

One of the more perfumed elegant wines the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Morgan's Way reveals a deep ruby/plum hue as well as incredible red and black fruit new leather pressed flowers graphite and loamy earth. It's full-bodied and powerful yet also ethereal and weightless. As with all of Woodbridge?s wines it?s going to age gracefully.
