You have surely seen this bottle with the very characteristic image on the label somewhere. The elegance and emblematic intensity of Napa Valley could not have been anything less. The Mascot 2017 is rare and only for those who prefer a full and robust red wine with enormous aging potential. Its taste testifies to the mastery of its creators and the evolution of these legendary vineyards!
The Mascot began as the "family" wine coming from the hills of Oakville and was consumed daily, but then took on other dimensions when the family understood the potential of the region's vineyards. Thus, in 1996, they created Bond, an elite Grand Cru of vineyards in the wider area, where Cabernet Sauvignon gave masterful results in winemaking. Mascot 2017 is made from grapes selected from all the family’s legendary vineyards and the Promontory vineyard, an addition made in 2008.
The result was a wine that combines youthful freshness with the volume and intensity of an aging wine. The varietal composition is mainly based on Cabernet Sauvignon up to 95%, depending on the year, and is complemented by smaller percentages of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. After fermentation, it is aged in oak barrels and its stay there gives it a rich structure, along with a very elegant character.
Now that you have found it, will you be able to hold on to it for at least the next 10 years? It is worth it, but we leave it to you!
