Stagecoach Vineyard Her Majesty's Secret Service Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Clear purple but not opaque. Petrol, earth and tobacco on the nose. Elegant and smooth with layers of tobacco, boysenberry and led pencil with a long elegant earthy finish. Really elegant. Enjoyed it thoroughly. — 5 years ago

I think this is the best yet I have tasted from the winery. The depth, balance, and poise... wow! New world power with old world elegance.

A side note: I was looking up this particular bottle, I just realized that all bottles I have tasted from this winery were actually not made by Pott, as he did not join the winery as wine maker until the early 2010’. And the youngest bottle I’ve tasted from the winery is 09. Makes me wonder who’s behind these wines before Pott, because they are all awesome!

Infinite Improbability Drive Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

What a hedonistic wine, and in all the right ways ✨ Fruit is sourced from the Adler Deutsch Vineyard. Incredibly pure, polished, and expressive. A sensual, tantalizing love note laced in blossoming plumes of graphite dust, succulent plums, plump blackberries, juicy blueberries, Christmas spices from Granny’s cabinet, and fresh eucalyptus. This juice is the real deal. — 7 years ago

@Ryan Vento Ryan Great post and what’s wrong with a hedonistic wine, it sounds good to me Cheers 🍷

Indeed, hedonistic wines can be quite good. Some of them, however, lean towards being a bit too extracted and rich, especially in their youth like this 2016. Alas, this was high quality and balanced.

Anakota

Helena Montana Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

This one I felt was missing something. I expect something with this label to dominate and compared to what else was there tonight, it was just rather timid. Still had some rather nice black fruits on the nose and on the palate, but thankfully this one wasn't mine. A little flat in the middle. Nice blackberry nose and palate. The finish is a little on the stiff side. I just think this one needs another 2-3 years in the bottle for it to wake back up again. I think it was in a funky place. Very enjoyable and I would definitely not snub this one if it was the only one on the table (quite the opposite, actually). This one tasted with a 2012 Pott Franc, a 2014 Bevan Ontogeny, a 1997 Lokoya Diamond Mtn, and a Barnett 2010 Rattlesnake Hill Cab. Nice wine.....I just think it would be better on another day. — 9 years ago

I think Mark is spot on noting that this one was just straight up overshadowed by everything else. Seems to be going through a dormant type period. I thought the front and mid palate were both lacking. Haven't had anything from Anakota except this, and knowing the name, I expected more. But, I'm sure this is just a timing issue than it is a wine issue.

Wow. Thick is the word that comes to mind. Blackberry, pomegranate, scorched earth, heavily roasted coffee. Voluptuous. Heady. Great with a bone in rib-eye. Over the top but not in a bad way. Not for every day. — 6 years ago

20M3 Chateauneuf - du - Pott Vineyard Viognier 2016

This is drinking really nicely right now. Much more subtle and less in-your-face than many new-world Viogniers tend to be. Sort of has the body and palate weight of a nice Chardonnay, but the flavors are more in the floral and lime range. Very refreshing yet complex enough to reward some real contemplation. — 8 years ago
