This wine is not like any wine. The wine is aged for about three years in the greatest French oak money can buy. This wine is stellar, pure magic. Let it grace your life.
Wine Notes
Opens with an elegant and soaring bouquet of bright raspberry and fresh strawberry. Hints of ripe blueberry linger around the edges, while fresh-cut flowers lend a delicate floral lift. Notes of orange zest bring vibrancy and freshness, layered atop crushed limestone and forest floor. Energetic and beautifully composed on the palate. Brisk acidity provides structure, while silky tannins create a refined framework, with layers of vivid red fruit and subtle baking spice. The long finish lingers with notes of ripe berries, delicate spice, and savory earth, accentuating the interplay of freshness, richness, and mineral tension. 2023 brought stability during the growing season with consistent temperatures, even canopy growth, and near perfect fruit set, which allowed us to pick on the ultimate flavor profile. Mother nature kept the heat at bay coming into harvest which meant the flavors just continued to deepen and develop. The 2023 vintage is truly spectacular — elegant, poised, and stylish.

Vineyard Notes
generous slope, unique sequence of Goldridge soils, ranging from
900-1900’ above sea level, and microclimate that adds dimension to the
wine. A rare, fine-grained sandy loam, Goldridge soils are known for
excellent drainage, and a characteristically light and fluffy texture. The
coastal climate of the region is marked by warm, dry summers and cool,
damp winters.

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.
