Tasting notes
Black cherries, leafy and floral elements and hints of vanilla appear on the nose of the 2021 Space & Time, a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot off Pott's Mount Veeder estate. It's an elegant, medium to full-bodied wine, silky and framed by fine-grained tannins, finishing with hints of mocha.

Inspired by working in St.-Emilion years ago, Aaron Pott blends this wine from his own mountain-top property, with 63% cabernet franc, 32% merlot and 5% cabernet sauvignon. A bright, perfumed aroma and lively, energized flavors give this wine a dazzling entry and keep it humming across the palate and finish. Surrounded by redwoods, mountain lions and wildflowers, the vineyard speaks through the wine. (JG)
The estate’s take on a Right Bank Bordeaux, the 2021 Space & Time checks in as 63% Cabernet Franc, 32% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a classy, medium to full-bodied, balanced, beautifully elegant style, as well as plenty of cassis and darker, raspberry-like fruits, some floral and spicy wood nuances, fine tannins, and a layered mouthfeel. I love it today yet it’s going to benefit from just 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for 15+ years.
The 2021 Space & Time is fabulous. Rich, dark and hedonistic, with tons of intensity, the 2021 offers up a compelling mélange of dark fruit laced with strong savory/earthy undertones. Rose petals, tobacco, dried mountain herbs and licorice add complexity. Readers will find a wine of tremendous stature and personality. I loved it.
