Mascot Napa Valley Red Blend
The ethereal power of the vintage reveals itself first in the deep, brooding aromas of dark fruit, black tea, and herbal notes. The texture expands around a lifted structure, as powdery tannins gently resolve. This diffused, enigmatic softness is anchored on the mid-palate by a gratifying density, which prepares the senses for a flourish of hidden energy and vivid detail that illuminates the finish.

The Estate
The Mascot is a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon made from distinct hillside vineyards, specifically the younger vines of BOND, Harlan Estate, and Promontory. It started as a small project shared among the family, winemaking team, and close friends.
Wine Making
In 2018 healthy rainfall in March and April preceded a benevolent summer, whose mildness was interrupted only briefly by a few warming periods. The fruit of the young vines maintained a measured balance that gave the team little indication that harvest was imminen
Food Suggestions
Pairs well with beef, lamb, deer, venison, mature and hard cheese, and poultry dishes.
