Pott Wine Space & Time

It's been over two years since my last bottle. As others have mentioned, this still needs to sleep. However, it was still quite drinkable, delivering fairly lush and round black cherry and purple…

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon Actaeon Quixote Vineyard

It's been about 3.5 years since my last bottle of this. Well, when Pott strikes the perfect chord, he nails the notes right on cue without a doubt. This was a beautiful bottle of wine, needing just…

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon Incubo

Black and red cherry, red and purple plum, muddled strawberry, cassis, rainbow peppercorn, and subtle bark saunter along the palate with the pleasantries that typify the 2014 vintage. Satisfying and…

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon Actaeon Quixote Vineyard

From Magnum. Round and plush black cherry and plum notes are encompassed by some cedar and evergreen notes. Finishes medium and a little soft. Balanced and even-keeled. A definite crowd pleaser. A…

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon The Arsenal Greer Vineyard

Dusty cedar, earth, wild purple plum, red cherry, and black currant notes. Beautiful weight distribution on the front end push, with a solid mid-palate drop that settles in nicely before it moves on…

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon The Arsenal Greer Vineyard

First bottle was a wet dog flawed mess.

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon The Arsenal Greer Vineyard

Another flawed bottle of the Arsenal. Wet newspaper and dog-left-out-in-the-rain mustiness. Fruit was blown and flat, with a bitter, astringent delivery overall.

Pott Wine Viognier 20m3

Previous notes from last month still apply. Some air helped to round-out the texture and provide additional depth of flavor. By hour two it was delivering an especially gorgeous mix of creamy, ripe…

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Similar to last month. Like an agreeable friend-hug with someone you've kinda hung out with a time or two. No romance, but a decent "It's just lunch" type of wine. Drink now.

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon Turf War Bisagno Vineyard

Raspberry coulis, red cherry preserve/compote, purple plum, cassis, and some subtle minerality. Drinking surprisingly well on a PnP, with just a little swirling in the glass needed to coax out…

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon Le Nouveau Western Star Vineyard

Plum and black cherry dominate, with some detectable earth/dust, unsmoked cigar, and RC cola. Mostly on the fruit-forward side of the spectrum, with the plum and black cherry carrying the majority of…

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Red plum, red and black cherry, and some faint vanilla. Medium all the way around. It's good. It does the job fairly well considering it's QPR. Don't expect it to help you pass a math test, but it's…

Pott Wine Viognier 20m3

Pear, honeydew, white peach, and some yellow citrus. Smooth and round (especially for the varietal), with a silky mouthfeel and delicate grip. Seemingly lower in its display of acid and frame, but…

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon Kaliholmanok Kicu'me

Surprisingly approachable, but still seems to be finding its way a little bit; showing primarily black cherry and plum notes. PnP was actually the preference for me frame-wise, with just a bit of air…

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon Her Majesty's Secret Service Stagecoach Vineyard

Hallmark Pott. Notes of purple-red plum, black cherry, pomegranate, cedar, and earth. It has that old school meets new school vibe, with a good combination of restraint and structure, coupled with…

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon Kaliholmanok Kicu'me

Previous note applies. Finished the bottle; consumed over two+ hours. Served at 52 degrees as a PnP. 93-94 points. I'll try to hold remaining bottles for at least another year or two.

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon Kaliholmanok Kicu'me

Coravin pour, with notes of red cherry, purple plum, Dalmatia sour cherry spread, cedar, underbrush, garrigue, and some forest floor. Approachable enough, but still youthfully linear and a little…

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon Le Nouveau Western Star Vineyard

PnP, tasted, and then decanted for about an hour at 54 degrees; small pours from the decanter, which remained in the wine fridge throughout consumption. This seemed to be the most appropriate service…

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

PnP. Displaying some older world characteristics, with red currant, cedar, and dust. Some purple plum, brick, and dried cranberry also emerged. Medium-bodied with a decent mid-palate, but still a bit…

Pott Wine Cabernet Franc La Carte et Le Territoire

A fascinating and cerebral wine, with notes of dark red core fruit (and some purple), red and black currant, red and black raspberry, crimson plum, black cherry, cassis, red dirt, iron, dusty…

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon Actaeon Quixote Vineyard

The first bottle was flawed. This second bottle was not, however my palate seemed to still be stuck in What The Heck mode after previously taking down some hefty sips of the heavily flawed bottle. I…

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon Actaeon Quixote Vineyard

Strong cedar and white vinegar mixed with a tablespoon of flabby Welch's grape juice. G-Damm*t Simple Jack A** bottle of salad dressing! ��

Pott Wine Cabernet Sauvignon Actaeon Quixote Vineyard

Similar to my previous notes on this wine. Drank much better after a two-three hour decant. Continued to improve through the final sips. Has years ahead of it. Ideally, hold until after 2019/2020+.
