The Mascot 2019 Napa Valley Red Wine

This is drawn from the younger vines from the Harlan family's vineyards- so from within the fences so to say of Bond, Harlan and Promontory, just younger vines. It is listed as a red wine, but the vast majority 80% plus is Cabernet Sauvignon. This pours dark garnet in the glass. The nose shows notes of clove, cassis, cherry, menthol, and a just there note of crushed rocks. The palate is present with a sense of density and gravitas and a flavor set of cherry, cassis, cigar box, forest floor and plum. For California Cabernet lovers that enjoy wines with presence.
