Aaron & Claire Pott Description
From way up in the Eastern hills of Napa Valley, the altitude gives Her Majesty an aristocratic structure of soft, royal, velvety tannins; appropriately Pauillac in feel – King Richard II would approve – great black fruits, cassis and blackberry, combined with spice, cedar and tobacco with a kiss of truffle. Blackberries, black currant, plum and cherry, dark cocoa, tobacco, cedar, vanilla and with a finish as long as the Hundred Years War.
One day in 2009, when I was consulting for Dr. Jan Krupp’s Stagecoach Vineyard, the good doctor he gestured across the entire spread and told me to choose any block (from 760 acres) I wanted for Pott Wine. I didn’t hesitate; “M5, M6.” ……There was a strangled silence, but it was too late and he is too much of a gentleman. I seized the crown!
100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Stagecoach M5 & M6. Aristocratic structure of soft, royal, velvety tannins.
Vinous: 95 Points
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Her Majesty's Secret Service is an inky, powerful wine with tons of Stags Leap personality. Inky blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and crème de cassis saturate the palate. Plush, resonant and super-expressive, the 2021 is showing very well today.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
Sourced from Block M5, Pott's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Her Majesty's Secret Service Stagecoach Vineyard delivers waves of black cherries and cassis fruit. It's full-bodied and concentrated but still supple enough to be very drinkable, finishing silky and long, with mouthwatering fruit.
