Pott

Pott Wine is a boutique Napa Valley producer founded by Aaron Pott, a Bordeaux-trained winemaker who worked at Petrus under Jean-Claude Berrouet before establishing his own label. The winery produces micro-quantity Cabernet Sauvignon and proprietary blends from estate and sourced Napa Valley fruit, with a philosophy that blends Pomerol opulence with Napa Valley concentration. Her Majesty's Secret Service is the flagship Cabernet; The Arsenal Greer and Incubo Chateauneuf du Pott complete the prestige tier. Aaron Pott's experience at Château Petrus directly informed his approach to Merlot blending and micro-fermentation techniques. Across 443 auction lots, the estate averages $118 per bottle with a ceiling of $431. Scores from Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator regularly reach 94–97 for the flagship cuvées. Production is typically 100–300 cases per wine, sustaining a devoted mailing list following. Pott's academic background — a degree in viticulture and oenology from UC Davis — and hands-on Pomerol training produce wines among Napa's most technically sophisticated small-producer expressions.
