The Mascot
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
The young vines of a mix of Harlan properties. Good, but not compelling at the price point.

All the puzzle pieces were there, Royal DNA would come through blind. Even after a 45 min decant this was a bit closed, was wishing I waited longer on this one… Will score way higher in 4+ years.

Amazing Cab sourced from Harlan Estate, BOND and Promontory young vines. Extraordinary complexity loaded with red and black fruits. Elegance, balance and everything you'd want in a special wine. Drinking fine now but easily handles another 5-10 yrs.

Seamless. Almost surprised how much I liked it. Not an obvious or in your face wine.

May 19th, 2025Huge pedigree on this one, being from the younger vines of Harlan… not a true second label. Rich Oakville flavors. For the price point you can do better. Also could have improved with a couple more years in the bottle I think.

1/21/24 - First taste of the “baby Harlan” which did not disappoint, black fruit, vegetal bouquet with a slight white pepper, slightly tannic medium finish; more “old world” style with a Napa twist; still a little young; glad I bought a case to experience over the next years.

The Mascot is made from the young vines of Harlan, Promitory and Bond and you can really taste the royal pedigree here. Still in the fruit/primary phase with drying tannins. Very singular palate with a lot of concentration. Give these some additional cellar time to really shine. 95/96 potential
