Hundred Acre Fortunate Son "The Dreamer"

This wine is dark and brooding, a wine of elegance, fine and structured tannins, and basically the wine-equivalent of a Wagner piece on a stormy night after unexpectedly making an enormous sum of money.

A purchase of 3 bottles of either "The Diplomat" or "The Dreamer" will be entitled to purchase 1 bottle of "The Warrior". For more details, contact info@grandvin.com.sg.

2018

Wine Advocate 93: Fortunate Son's 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Dreamer is a cool, menthol-scented offering, with a base of ripe cherries grounded in cedary oak. Medium to full-bodied, with a smooth, silky feel, this is nicely judged and balanced, with a long, elegant finish.

2019

Wine Advocate 95: A blend of two undisclosed vineyards, Fortunate Son's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Dreamer is darker, richer and warmer than the 2018 version, yet still balanced, delivering ripe black cherries, loamy earth and dried spices. It's medium to full-bodied, softly dusty and long on the finish.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown 96: Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 The Dreamer comes barreling out with powerful notes of stewed black plums, warm cassis, and Morello cherries giving way to nuances of menthol, Chinese five spice, and red loam. The full-bodied palate is charged with energetic black berry layers, framed by exquisitely ripe tannins, finishing very long with loads of mineral sparks.

James Suckling 96: Blackcurrant, lavender, and hints of milk chocolate. Medium to full body and layered. Savory and beautiful. Drink or hold.

Decanter 97: A shimmering, lucid, ruby colour. Seductive aromas of ripe blackberry fruit, graphite, and suave tannins. Fresh, fragrant, polished and full of savoury spices atop plush fruit, leading to a medium to full-bodied finish that builds in stature through a wealth of herbs and spices.
