PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
"Hundred Acre's Jayson Woodbridge reflects on the legendary Halley's Comet, tying this extraordinary wine to its cosmic namesake. Much like the comet’s return every 75 years, this Pinot Noir feels like a celestial event. The year Mark Twain was born, Halley's Comet passed through the skies, only to return in the year of Twain’s death. It is said that the comet could have been the star that guided the Three Wise Men to Jerusalem—just as this wine will guide you to a state of pure indulgence. Sourced primarily from two exceptional sites, Halley’s Comet Pinot Noir is nothing short of a reward—a hedonistic expression of Pinot Noir, decadent as crème brûlée and molten chocolate cake. The nose bursts with crushed cacao nibs, toasted marshmallows, and vibrant cherry compote, all wrapped in an aura of rose petals and dark forest fruits. On the palate, the wine shows off its lavishness with layers of ripe plum, blackberry, and an unexpected yet delightful streak of cranberry, livened by fresh raspberry and hints of wild strawberry. Beneath all that richness, there’s a deep backbone of racy acidity, balancing out the unctuous fruit with just the right amount of tension. Black tea tannins lend depth and structure, with notes of black liquorice, clove, and even a touch of earthiness from freshly turned soil. This wine has a seductive length—a finish that seems to stretch into infinity. Decadent, rich, rich—yet fun, playful, and irresistible. In 2019, Jayson Woodbridge of Hundred Acre began producing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir under the Summer Dreams label, using fruit from cool-climate vineyards on the extreme Sonoma Coast." 95 Points, Jonathan Cristaldi for Decanter
"Sparkling from start-to-finish with an Elton John star-shaped sunglasses vibe, the Halley’s Comet Pinot Noir is a showstopper. Opens with dazzling notes of high-tone, ripe raspberries and fresh-picked, wild strawberries. The medium bodied palate with bright tannins frame the long, ovation inducing finish."
