2021 Pott Incubo Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder

Incubo began as a tiny, 12 case cuvee that Aaron made from the 1/2 acre vineyard that was already planted on our property when we bought it in 2004.  Over time we expanded the vineyards to almost 5 acres, and Incubo grew to around 80 cases.  The name derives from a mythical creature supposed to guard a hoarde of treasure.  The dragon symbol is in fact the signature of a medieval painter named Lucas Cranach, who often depicted wine and merry-making in his work.  We visited a gallery full of his paintings while we were in Germany in 2004 for the World Cup, which is where we got the inspiration.
