The Mascot Description
His father, Bill Harlan, began in the wine business here in the Napa Valley more than 40 years ago, when he established a long-term vision, with the founding of Harlan Estate—the first of our three distinct winegrowing endeavors. Fifteen years later, we released the initial vintage from the BOND winery— where we produce five wines from five very small hillside vineyards within the Napa Valley. Nearly a decade after that, we had the opportunity, finally, to capture the land that would become Promontory, and mark the beginning of our quest there for the missing shade of red.
The Mascot traces its pedigree directly from these three endeavors, drawing its fruit from the younger vines of Harlan Estate, BOND, and Promontory into a singular expression of Napa Valley’s hillsides, through the lens of our culture and winegrowing philosophy.
Tasting Note: Both at once supple and poised; its mantle of red fruit accented by dark details, like crimson velvet embroidered with fine violet threads. The tannins are smooth and sheer, with resolute acidity, lending to the palate a distinct classicism. The wine’s breadth gradually gathers itself from its periphery and focuses its energy toward a penetrating finish. This nobly proportioned structure is surprisingly approachable—especially for a vintage from the Napa Valley.
