From our coast to yours

JAYSON WOODBRIDGE

Over his 25-year winemaking career, Jayson is an uncompromising winemaker that has been primarily focused on Bordeaux varietals in the Napa Valley under the Hundred Acre label and the recipient of more than 61, 100-point scores.

Over the last decade the unique soils and extreme conditions of the West Sonoma Coast created a new obsession for Jayson to create site specific vineyard driven wines from this special place in California

“Wine is supposed to make you believe.”

ASHLEY HOLLAND

Originally from Oklahoma, Ashley grew up riding horses and honing her creative essence in winemaking.

Her career has spanned California and Oregon, as well as Australia, New Zealand, and Uruguay, working with noted winemakers Bill Price, Bob Cabral, and Ryan Prichard. She was a natural fit with the legendary Woodbridge.

Ashley and Jayson explored over a hundred vineyards before selecting vineyards with site, slope, Goldridge soils, and vine age as their primary qualifiers.

“We give Ashley everything she needs, but we leave it to her. We’re not trying to steal her thunder; we’re her spiritual guides.”

Map Maker: Summer Dreams, Fortunate Son and Hundred Acre New Releases

The Wine Independent | Lisa Perrotti-Brown

“I’m a direct descendent of Jacques Cartier, the cartographer,” Jayson Woodbridge tells me, seemingly apropos of nothing. But nothing is random or out of context with Jayson. For example, he describes Cartier as a cartographer, not an explorer—the profession by which Cartier is better known. With Jayson, every casually offered piece of shared information is specific and purposeful, whether you get it or not.
