‘The Mascot’ began as a family wine, with no name and no label. The components are of the highest ‘pedigree’, coming from the youngest vineyards of Harlan Estate, Bond and Promontory, with hints of the individual character embodied by each of the grands vins. In The Mascot the maturations are a little longer for a delicious and vibrant wine with the depth that allows for extended ageing. One common thread guided the choice of name and label, the team’s shared passion for dogs: The Mascot’s label originated with Prince, a white English bull terrier who lived at the Farmers Deposit National Bank in Pittsburgh and was a guard and ‘mascot’ for local baseball, football and hockey teams sponsored by the bank. The Mascot introduces newcomers to the pleasures of Napa Valley cabernet, opening the door to the family’s grands vins, whose roots run even deeper.
