Pott Wine represents the culmination of 20 years of professional winemaking experience. It reflects our love of wine, not only of tasting but of enjoying it with friends and not being afraid to get a little loopy.
Pott Wine is a reflection and an homage to those wines that brought tears to my eyes; a 1959 Romanée-Conti, a '47 Château Petrus, a 1971 Aßmannshäusen Hollenberg Spätburgunder, a '70 Mayacamas, a ’54 BV Georges De Latour.
Pott Wine is an historical journey into a forgotten time of Napa Valley wines; a time of balance, elegance and respect of terroir.
Working in all of the great appellations of the Napa Valley in the vineyards of friends (some of which I helped to plant) we are able to obtain grapes that express the wonderful idiosyncrasy of their place and time.
We hope that with Pott Wine we can really show the outer limits of wine from the Napa Valley, putting site and appellation in the forefront and winemaking in the background. |
