About This Wine
The Harlan family makes The Mascot from the younger vines of Harlan Estate, BOND and Promontory.
2012 was a warm, steady season in Napa with a generous crop after two cooler years, and it produced ripe, rounded wines.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Blackberry, dark cherry and plum, with cedar, crushed rock and cocoa.
- Palate: Full-bodied and layered, with ripe dark fruit, fresh acidity and fine, dusty tannins.
- Finish: Long and savoury, with dark fruit and a gravelly edge.
Serving & Food
Decant for 45 minutes to an hour and serve at 16 to 18°C in Bordeaux glasses. Roast prime rib, slow-cooked lamb shoulder or grilled Ibérico pork suit it.

About the Winery
When the Harlan properties replant, the young vines are kept out of the flagship wines until they are around ten years old. For years their fruit went into an unlabelled wine poured at family dinners.
