The Mascot Napa Valley 2018

The 2018 Mascot Napa Valley is a premium red wine crafted from the younger vines of the prestigious Harlan Estate, BOND, and Promontory vineyards. Primarily a Cabernet Sauvignon blend, it features a deep ruby color and an aromatic profile of dark fruit, black tea, and herbal notes, complemented by hints of cedar, graphite, and tobacco spice. On the palate, the wine balances power with a lifted structure, offering concentrated flavors of blackberry and plum supported by fresh acidity and fine grained, powdery tannins. This vintage is noted for its ethereal power and long, vibrant finish, making it approachable in its youth while possessing the density and balance to age for decades. Ideal for pairing with grilled meats like steak or tri-tip, it provides a sophisticated glimpse into the pedigree of Napa Valleys most elite winegrowing estates.
