Wine Description
The Mascot Wine 2018 is a testament to the artistry and expertise of winemaker Will Harlan, showcasing the remarkable outcome of a vintage that embraced both challenges and serenity. In the glass, it reveals a deep, garnet color, hinting at the richness that lies within.
On the nose, the wine entices with a complex array of aromas. Dark fruit notes dominate, with luscious blackberries and ripe plums taking center stage. Intertwined with these are hints of black tea, adding depth and sophistication. Subtle herbal nuances dance in the background, enhancing the overall bouquet.
As the wine caresses the palate, its texture expands gracefully, enveloping the senses with a lifted structure and delicate powdery tannins that gently melt away. This elegant softness is complemented by a satisfying density in the mid-palate, creating a harmonious balance. The team’s decision to pick the fruit at just the right moment is reflected in the wine’s ethereal power, with a subtle yet undeniable energy that captivates the taste buds.
The finish is a crescendo of flavors, as the hidden energy bursts forth, revealing vibrant details that linger on the palate. The 2018 vintage of The Mascot is a remarkable expression of finesse and restraint, with a captivating allure that keeps you coming back for more.

Edna Ellis –
Elegant blend of black and red fruits with subtle oak. Silky palate, with cherry, cassis, and raspberry. Finish reveals spice and earthy tones. Good wine, but price has gone up. Enjoyed over a date night at Chandlers in Petoskey.
Elizabeth Mccord –
Green, yet pleasant. Could benefit from decanting or aging.
Barbara Han –
Intense, concentrated Napa wine with blackberry notes. Structured, masculine, and not overpowering. Needs 10+ years. Rating: 93+. #podcast #IB
Evelyn Juarez –
Elegant, smooth wine with dark fruits and moderate tannins.
Brenda Duquette –
Intense magenta color. Prominent cherry cream cheese danish aroma. Smooth, dry palate with good acidity. Long, firm tannic finish. Accessible now, but will improve with age. Ideal to decant for 2-3 hours.
Rhona Neil –
Elegant wine with a harmonious blend of dark and red fruit. Silky texture. Excited for its potential aging over 5 years. Cheers!
Gloria Kitchens –
New Review: Medium-bodied American Cabernet with potential. Requires 2-hour decant. Fruity, elegant, and subtle now, but will improve in a few years. Well-rounded tannins, powerful acidity. Drink from 2025 to 2034+.
James Arehart –
Decent wine, but outshone by the 2019 Seaver GTS served alongside. Promising potential, worth trying again in 2-3 years.
Margaret Rubens –
Solid Cabernet backbone with big legs. Hints of mineral and spice, with a touch of cinnamon. Medium-firm tannins.
Clyde Turner –
’18 lacks the greatness of ’16. Needs more time to blend. Good fruit but earthy nose. Will age for a few more years.
Roy Bartolome –
After an hour, this wine becomes more expressive with demure fruit and increased tartness. Preferred over the 2018 Tor Cimarossa. Liked by all.
Kimberly Hollins –
Great wine, but pricey. Reminiscent of a typical US cab. Thought it was Shafer.
Kendall Jones –
The Mascot impresses with its blackberry and cherry aromas, cassis and cherry flavors, and a long finish. While it could continue to evolve, it drinks well now. Hold onto it for 2-10+ years.
Gary Gober –
Cork was wet but wine had no flaws. Elegant, smooth, and silky with restrained fruit. Label doesn’t match the wine’s character. Overpriced, didn’t improve over three nights.
Donna Gray –
Review: Balanced, needs food, big and promising. Hold for higher score. Decant for a long finish. Not polished yet.
David Stinnett –
After 1.5 hours, fragrant and perfumed nose with orange blossom. Fruit forward palate, dusty tannins, medium-long finish. Approachable with noticeable tannins.
Isaac Dendy –
Impressive dark magenta hue. Aromas of cherry, coconut cream pie, honeysuckle, cinnamon, rain on hot pavement, and subtle sweet basil. Smooth, dry palate with firm tannins. Improved since last tasted. Young CS with great balance and complexity.
