I love that this is made in a very accessible style. Really good and open at still a relatively young age. The reddest of the red fruits, balanced with some nice earth and oak notes. Finish for days and days. Drink or hold (through 2028 imho).

Anton’s Wine Tasting Notes Winery:Pott. Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon Area/Appellation:Napa Valley California Vintage: 2014 Price: $60/Direct from Winery Color: Opaque brilliant purple. Legs: Dead Slow Nose: somewhat muted, Currants, Cassis, Chokeberries, Blackberry Palate: Smooth with more Black Currants and Blackberry, Blueberries, Cassis, Spice, Vanilla and Oak. Finish: Plenty of currants drying out to vanilla and toasted oak Comments: 45 minute glass decant. Rich textbook Napa Cabernet replete with plenty of dark blueberry, blackberry, black currants cassis, spice, vanilla and toasty oak. Textbook Basic Napa Cabernet 101. The only this this is missing is some multi-dimensionality. Pairing Suggestions: The usual suspects. Score in terms of Vintage: 90 Score for the Wine: 90 Value for the Money: Very Good 😌 Date Tasted: 04/03/2021 Tasted by: ACK

Solid entry level appellation cab. Plum, dark cherry and black fruit that is in the forefront. Did get as much depth of flavor as I did with my last bottle. A touch above a crowd pleaser but not something to remember.

Scored compared to a 2012 Mica Cab from Buccella which cost about the same. Would go with the Mica everytime, but that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with this wine.

Birthday bottle that did not disappoint. Beautiful color with translucent around the edge. Nice nose of berries and a simply delicious long juicy finish! Glad I have a few more to see how it evolves. However, it’s drinking very well now.
