The Incubo is a Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from a block on Aaron Pott's 3.8-hectare vineyard atop Mount Veeder. The wine is fermented in open-top Burgundian wood fermenters and aged for 21 months in 75% new French oak. Infused with aromatic bay laurel that is both slightly spicy and minty, this note threads itself beautifully through the layers of dark berry fruit character. The mountain tannins here feel notably more refined, fragrant, and intense, likely influenced by the site’s position above the fog line, where it receives intense morning sunshine. The result is a remarkable wine that balances intensity and elegance, with refined structure and layered complexity. A total joy to drink.

James Suckling

So muscular, sinewy, firm and structured, yet elegant, concentrated and pure. This full-bodied wine balances firm, layered tannins and brilliant fresh raspberries, blueberries, and blackcurrants. Elegant, well balanced and beautiful. It offers the fine-grained tannins of Mt. Veeder that will help it age a long time. Drinkable now, but best from 2030.

Wine Advocate

A barrel sample of Pott's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Incubo yielded bold waves of ripe cherries, gentle sage nuances and hints of vanilla. Despite its heft and full-bodied nature, it's wonderfully supple and silky, ending long and elegant, with terrific vibrancy.

Jeb Dunnuck

Lots of cassis, graphite, and spring flowers, as well as a kiss of Pauillac-like lead pencil shavings, emerge from the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Incubo, a deep, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon in the lineup that has beautiful overall balance, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It brings more depth and richness, as well as density, than just about every other wine in the vintage, and this beauty is one to seek out.
