Score 97/100 · Drink 2025-2045, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Mar 2024

Mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, with a smaller portion of Cabernet Franc, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Incubo is Pott's top effort from his estate vineyard on Mount Veeder. Black cherries and raspberries are joined by a subtle herbal (sage?) note. The balance of this full-bodied wine is exquisite, being firm and structured but not overly so and also ripe but not overly so, finishing with terrific length and a gentle wash of silky tannins. Only 150 cases were produced.

So focused, vibrant, layered and lively, with aromas of red fruit, subtle oak spices, currants and mint. Fine-grained tannins embrace the classic black cherry and cassis flavors. A brilliant wine that only needs time to mature and develop more complexity. Best from 2029. (JG)

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Incubo is brilliant juice, offering a deep purple hue as well as a killer bouquet of crème de cassis, tobacco leaf, spring flowers, and damp earth/underbrush-like nuances. I love its complexity and this beauty hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a layered, elegant mouthfeel, fine tannins, and a great finish. Blended with just a splash of Cabernet Franc, drink this classy, impeccably made Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon over the coming two decades.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Incubo is another fabulous wine from Aaron Pott's Mount Veeder estate. Inky dark fruit, grilled herbs, leather, incense, licorice and dried flowers power through in this dense, explosive Cabernet Sauvignon. (AG)
