2018 CABERNET SAUVIGNON Napa V. CALIFORNIA 750ml THE MASCOT

Description The Mascot is a Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon made from seven distinct hillside vineyards—specifically, the younger vines of Harlan Estate, Promontory, and the five small vineyards within the BOND portfolio. We replant the vines of these parent properties once or twice per century, which means that on a yearly basis we are replanting less than two percent of our vineyards. This affords The Mascot with a consistent source of fruit, from vines around 10 years of age, before they graduate into the wines of their respective endeavors.Once the fruit is harvested, it goes through fermentation and aging at each of the three wineries, and only comes together as The Mascot at the final blending table. The resulting wine, aged for four years before release, offers a singular glimpse into the evolution of its parent estates.
