2019 The Mascot

Perhaps the most seductive Mascot to date, but with a gravitas befitting some of Napa’s most exulted terroirs. Richly hued, it sits beautifully in the glass, and there are hours of satisfaction to be had from this wine’s nose alone, with an emphasis on blackcurrant, cedar and crushed stone, as well as subtle herbal notes including thyme and mint. The 2019 boasts an incredible depth of fruit and tannins that simply caress the palate, while the acidity is perfectly integrated yet provides ample drive and definition – and the promise of a long drinking window. Perhaps the most seductive Mascot to date, but with a gravitas befitting some of Napa’s most exulted terroirs.
