The Mascot

The Mascot Cabernet has its origins as an experimental wine, created by the winemaking team to share with friends and family. In the early years, before it had an official label or name, it was simply a wine enjoyed within the winemakers' inner circle.

It wasn't until the 2008 vintage that The Mascot had enough production to be released more widely to new admirers. This Cabernet is described as a hedonistic blend, balancing power and approachability. It is expressive and drinkable upon release, yet also has the potential to evolve and age gracefully for decades.

The Mascot seems to have started as a pet project or passion wine, before gradually growing into a fully realized Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that the winemakers are now proud to share with both longtime friends and new enthusiasts alike. Its combination of immediate accessibility and long-term age ability appears to be a key part of its character and appeal.
