Pott Wines (Aaron & Claire Pott and Daughters)

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Drinking the 2018 in 2025. Thin legs. Light and fruit forward bouquet. Berry and deep ripe fruit notes. Light flavors with a slightly dry finish. Smooth on the tongue with a balance of dark fruit and berry flavors. Slightly tannic finish. — 2 months ago

Union Sacré

Belle de Nuit Central Coast Gewürztraminer 2019

Chasing my chaotic self-administered pandemic hair chopping with a Gewurtz from Arroyo Seco which seems to me apropos as I imagine the region as wind-swept and tousled. This wine is not so much and that is a good thing. All is in harmony. There is just the right amount of everything and it hits you in order—the lychees are followed by a green lawn leading to the flower garden full of roses and gardenias all spirited along by a nice amount of acid and powered by a prickling tannin. I’m not normally the biggest Gewurtz fan but I’d reach for this a second time. I’d maybe even pair it with a “hard to pair” thing like artichoke. Something about the floral nature of both I think could line up. Is that crazy? Maybe. But this is coming from someone who just used her kitchen scissors to give herself an intentionally asymmetrical haircut. — 4 years ago

Belle Glos

Clark & Telephone Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023

Crafted by Joseph J. Wagner, 4th generation winemaker, with winemaking roots in the Napa Valley since 1906. Deep Ruby with red berry fruit aromas, tea and sweet spice notes. On the palate flavors of jammy blackberry and cherry with pronounced sweet vanilla oak, cacao and pepper spice notes. Soft tannins and bright acidity, well balanced, with mineral tones on a long finish ending with toasty spice! Nice! — 2 months ago

Perrier-Jouët

Belle Epoque Rosé Brut Champagne Blend 2012

This was too young and way too tight. It was minimally expressive. Floral and red cranberry. Palette was expansive but it was tightly wound. Finish was short. This needs much time. — 5 years ago
