Founded by Will Harlan, it began as a small, informal project shared among the family, the winemaking team, and a handful of close friends. Drawing fruit from recently replanted blocks within the vineyards, The Mascot reveals its distinguished pedigree while offering insight into the evolution of its parent properties: a youthful promise of their future.\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach of the three “parent” properties contributes components to The Mascot, and the winemaking teams - led by Cory Empting, Director of Winegrowing for the family domain - work collaboratively to weave together the final blend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDepending on the vintage, The Mascot is composed of 85-95% Cabernet Sauvignon, along with small quantities of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTERROIR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mascot is crafted from the younger vines of the three parent properties. Within the Napa Valley, hillside vineyards make up a miniscule percentage of planted acreage. The Harlan family has spent the past 40 years identifying the very finest and rarest of these sites.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFARMING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe vines that contribute to The Mascot average from 5 to 12 years of age. As the vines of the parent properties are replanted approximately twice per century—or the equivalent of around 2% of acreage per year—the supply of young vines is continually replenished. Many young vines are beginning to manifest now; as a result of replanting at Harlan Estate and BOND starting more than a decade ago, and at Promontory since it was acquired in 2008.\u003cbr\u003eIn this process, vines are pulled and replanted with a cover crop that supports the soil ecosystem—all without tilling. This ensures that conditions found in the mature vineyard are maintained, allowing continuity between the \"generations\" of plantings. In this way, when young vines begin to root, they can connect to a much wiser, well-structured network of microorganism and nutrient pathways.\u003cbr\u003eWaiting three years for rootstocks to establish themselves before grafting allows the plant to focus on root-growth during this critical stage. Although this delays production by a few years, when the vines finally do produce a crop, the fruit has a superior balance of tannin and acidity. The focus on cultivating the root system has also allowed us to begin dry farming very early in the vine’s lifecycle, which gives our wine greater purity and distinction.\u003cbr\u003eThe vineyard teams farm each plot of land in a highly individualized manner through a program called the \"Vine Masters.” Over the course of a five to ten year apprenticeship, these team members earn the right to oversee a portion of the vineyard for which they are solely responsible. The Vine Masters tend to these blocks as their own personal gardens, treating each plant independently, allowing each vine to reach its greatest potential for quality, character, and longevity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe winemaking teams vinify the grapes from each property in accordance with the character of their land. For aging the wines, Harlan Estate and BOND use new and neutral French oak barrels, while Promontory employs larger casks made of Austrian oak.\u003cbr\u003eThe winemaking teams evaluate the young-vine lots at the blending table between 6 and 14 months after fermentation, selecting the finest for inclusion in The Mascot. In total, The Mascot is aged in barrel for nearly three years prior to bottling and another 18 months in bottle prior to release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscript src=\"moz-extension:\/\/0cf91222-196f-42d9-b866-b758d431b4e4\/js\/app.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e\n\u003cscript src=\"moz-extension:\/\/47f01cd4-a475-49ef-9d57-922e267e58eb\/js\/app.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Johnson Brothers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44221517431043,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/4629\/4940\/files\/IMG-4131.heic?v=1716482556"},{"product_id":"chappellet-mountain-cuvee","title":"Chappellet Mountain Cuvée Blend","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 2022 Chappellet Mountain Cuvée is a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, 6% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaker Phillip Corallo-Titus describes it as follows, \"This beautifully aromatic wine leaps from the glass with concentrated aromas of flashy dark cherry, blackberry and plum, as well as hints of toasty oak, clove, cardamom, marjoram, and thyme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ripe berry flavors are echoed on the richly textured palate where they mingle with notes of coffee and chocolate.

Medium-bodied, the palate has a lively skip in its step, featuring bags of juicy raspberry and cassis-laced fruit and a refreshing line, supported by ripe, plush tannins, finishing long and graceful.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_list\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cscript src=\"moz-extension:\/\/091746b2-c92b-4c20-aeb0-834b2dcfef1c\/js\/app.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e\n\u003cscript src=\"moz-extension:\/\/97222f1c-bedd-466f-a41c-87a22dd47b0d\/js\/app.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Empire Distributing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44254550982915,"sku":"","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/4629\/4940\/files\/IMG-4127.heic?v=1716482488"},{"product_id":"keenan-mailbox-vineyard-reserve-merlot","title":"Keenan Cabernet Sauvignon","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipWineNotes\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"pipSecContent_headline\"\u003eWinemaker Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"pipProdMakerNote\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"description\" class=\"pipProdMakerNote_copy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposed primarily of grapes grown on Keenan’s Spring Mountain District Estate; the remainder of the fruit was harvested from Pope Valley, a grape growing region located in the eastern portion of Napa.

Leading with beautifully delicate wild herbs, dried and crushed bay laurel and sage, red and black currant fruit, and a pop of liquorice intermixed with cigar leaf. Medium to full-bodied with a richness to the mid-palate and intense grip from the wine's multidimensional acidity. Almost feathery and extremely fine tannins frame all this, and the wine finishes long, cool, and so composed. Tasted at Harlan Estate with director of winegrowing Cory Empting and Will Harlan, managing director at Domain H. William Harlan. Both expressed to me that the 2020 vintage - while challenging because of the fires - has resulted in a critical inflection point in the evolution of Harlan. 'We gained 5-10 years of learning in one year', said Will, intimating that their scrupulous probing and attention to detail amounted to a genuinely academic year in farming. Empting, for his part, explained that while it's not unusual for picks at Harlan to begin in late August, the entire property was finished with harvest by 12 September - the earliest in the estate's history. Empting said that his greatest concern was wind direction after the LNU fire ignited on 17 August. Favourable winds kept the smoke at bay for their Oakville vines. Most importantly, Empting emphasised that the growing season, which began dry and warm and continued as much, meant that picking by the second week in September didn't mean picking underripe grapes. 'We weren't just picking early to pick early; the grape ripened earlier', he said, and given the age of their vines (30-40 years) and the fact that as of this writing, some 70% of the vineyard is dry-farmed, the vines are adapting in ways Empting and even longtime vineyard manager Bob Levy hadn't imagined. Fermentations were faster but not hotter as sugar levels were lower, and while they pulled back on punch-downs, the wine macerated on the skins longer. 'The result and surprise are in the details and fine-ness of tannins', remarked Will, 'It's not a complete departure; we feel we have removed the clouding and can see it all so unobstructed'. In short, the structure of the Harlan estate has come into focus. In subsequent vintages, as with 2021 and 2022, grapes were harvested on the earlier side, never eschewing ripeness but paying closer attention to what 'ripeness' means for the vines growing at Harlan Estate. For my part as a reviewer, the best observation I can make is that there is indeed a remarkable freshness and tension, like turning the page of a great Fitzgerald novel only to find the story continues to build, surprise, delight, and inspire intrigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cscript src=\"moz-extension:\/\/97222f1c-bedd-466f-a41c-87a22dd47b0d\/js\/app.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e \u003cscript src=\"moz-extension:\/\/091746b2-c92b-4c20-aeb0-834b2dcfef1c\/js\/app.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tryon Distributing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44932729831683,"sku":null,"price":1776.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/4629\/4940\/files\/IMG-3676.heic?v=1711558036"},{"product_id":"dominus-estate-cabernet-2021","title":"Dominus Estate Cabernet (2021)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"pipProdMakerNote\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"description\" class=\"pipProdMakerNote_copy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDominus Estate is the Napa Valley property of Bordeaux producer Christian Moueix.

Sporting a dense purple hue as well as an incredible perfume of blackcurrants, crushed stone, cedar pencil, smoke tobacco, and baking spices, it s rich, full-bodied, and voluptuously textured, with ripe yet building tannins. It reminds me slightly of the 2010 (maybe the 2013), and I suspect it will have a similar evolution. Hide bottles for 7-8 years, and it will evolve gracefully for 30+ years.

Harvest- ed under moonlight, the fruit is crushed at cool temperatures and then thoughtfully monitored throughout fermentation. After a 7-10 day fermentation, the wine is gently pressed to oak casks where it is allowed to mature for 9 months prior to bottling. Fruit is sourced from prized vineyards in Napa and Sonoma, giving the wine its mouthwatering structure, and elevage in upright oak casks preserves the bright red and black fruit characteristics.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Empire Distributing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46142818550019,"sku":"","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/4629\/4940\/files\/IMG-5655.heic?v=1732304475"},{"product_id":"croze-vitner-s-reserve-oakville-cabernet","title":"Croze ‘vitner’s reserve’ Oakville Cabernet db","description":"\u003cp\u003e90 cases produced\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eoakville, Napa, California \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"3 keys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46201443975427,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/4629\/4940\/files\/IMG-5800.heic?v=1733679105"},{"product_id":"round-pond-estate-cabernet","title":"Round Pond Estate Cabernet (2021)","description":"\u003cp class=\"productInformationReview__d2f61d42\"\u003eWine Enthusiast-Napa Valley - Rutherford - This wine is a standout in the school of plush, velvety and chocolaty Cabernets.
