The Mascot 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Oakville Napa Valley

Winemaker’s Tasting Notes : “Made from the younger vines of Harlan Estate, BOND, and Promontory, The Mascot shares a unique glimpse into the evolution of our winegrowing estates. The Mascot began early on as an experiment, after talking the family and winemaking team into sparing a few barrels of wine – produced from our younger vines – to explore a blend of my own. In the first few years, before it had a label or a name, it was just a wine shared with friends and family. This cabernet is a hedonistic blend of power and balance; expressive and approachable early in its life, with potential to evolve well into the future. Ready to drink upon release, it will age for decades given the opportunity.”

Tasting Notes: Incredibly pure notes of cassis, spice box, black currant with a hint of cocoa. The wine is  full-bodied and powerful, yet seamless and balanced.
