2019 THE MASCOT NAPA VALLEY RED The Mascot shares the hallmarks of Napa Valley's most elite wines, such as meticulous farming, high-profile winemaking, and pedigreed grapes, offering an introduction to Napa's most distinguished Cabernet Sauvignons. Emerging from distinct hillside vineyards, specifically from the comparatively younger vines of BOND, Harlan Estate, and Promontory, The Mascot lucidly reveals its unrivaled pedigree with each swirl of the glass while offering insight into the vintage and evolution of its parent properties. While the winery doesn't specify exact grape varietal percentages in each vintage, The Mascot has historically been 85-95% Cabernet Sauvignon, followed by Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petite Verdot. Crafted in an intensely captivating style that's gloriously supple, penetrating, and harmoniously balanced, only a few very select retail partners can offer this wine, and we are delighted to be one of them! "...The wine is beautifully supple with a broadly fanned aromatic spectrum and an effortless depth of fruit. From a center point on the palate, the 2019 vintage undulates outward in all directions. Gentle, velvety swells pause and fold in on themselves, their liquid whorls of refined tannin and gratifying acidity gliding across the surface of smooth curves before retreating gradually to reveal, on the finish, the burnished dimensions beneath."
