The Mascot originally began as a family wine, an unnamed, unlabeled blend that was crafted for the Harlan family table. Its component were of the highest pedigree… harvested from the younger vines of the Harlan family domain: Harlan Estate, Bond, Promontory. The charming wine started to draw affection from close family friends and the thought was it deserved an identity of its own. Initially only produced in small portions, production soon reached over 500 cases. Based on the family’s passion for dogs and the “mascot” pictured on the Farmers Deposit National Bank of Pittsburgh engraving for their stock certificates, a white English bull terrier named Prince, this former "family" wine got its name and label.
The Mascot Cabernet Sauvignon pours a deep ruby red to the rim. Sultry aromas of dark red and black fruits mingle with hints of violets, herbs and freshly-ground coffee. The muscular palate is dense and concentrated with flavors of macerated blackberries and mulberries accented with notes of black tea and mocha. This Cabernet’s power is balanced by an ethereal acidity and smooth, velvety tannins, all which converge towards a soft, textured finish. Pair with any grilled cut of beef… ribeye, sirloin or tomahawk, this wine will work perfectly.
