The Mascot Story (Will Harlan)
Ever since I was a child, I have played around in Harlan's fields, picking grapes with my hands and picking them directly from the trees. <br>I grew up eating it, but I never thought I would actually be passionate about making wine.

As you all know, my family has been making great wine for many years as the Harlan Family.
I'm still new to this business. However, several years ago, I started doing something out of curiosity.
I never expected that it would lead me to enter the wine industry.

It was officially released in 2008, and from 2012, everything from harvesting to winemaking and blending.
I began my own experience with the Harlan team. This project started with the Harlan family. Among the wines produced by <br>, we have selected some barrels of wine from young vines that will not be released as Harlan, but will be sold.
I would blend it myself under the guidance of the Harlan team and enjoy it with family and friends.
It had no name or label. In 2008, the wine name and label were decided upon, and the wine was officially released.
From 2020, as part of the Harlan Group 200 Year Initiative, Harlan will continue to improve its quality year by year.
Bond produces grapes from young to 15-year-old Promontory grapes as The Mascot, and produces a certain amount of them.
Furthermore, we have a strict selection of high-quality wines for each wine, and we also offer high-quality wines other than that selection.
Blended into The Mascot, it has evolved into a wine that supports the Harlan Group from its roots.
Its role has been clarified and prices have been revised.

In the 2015 vintage, fruit set was sparse due to the cool spring, and yields were expected to be very low.
Harvest started early because of the mild summer and warm autumn weather, allowing the grapes to ripen early.
It took more than a month to finish all the fields, and the harvest was tailored to the unique characteristics of each field.

Harlan Estate

A great figurehead who raised the status of California wine.

Harlan Estate is a successful real estate business, and Mr. Bill Harlan, who runs the magnificent resort called Meadowood in Napa Valley, said, ``We will produce California wine from Oakville that rivals France's first-class Médoc chateaus.'' was established in 1984 with the vision: At that time, it was common knowledge in Napa Valley to grow grapes on flat land, but after 15 years of land selection and steady research and investigation, we cleared 97 ha of land in the hills west of Oakville, and we settled on a plot of land 68 to 374 meters above sea level. Terraced fields were created along the contour lines of the north- and northeast-facing slopes. The soil is covered with crushed rock called Franciscan shale, 1/3 is sedimentary soil, and 2/3 is volcanic soil.The soil is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon in locations suitable for each variety. 8% Franc and 2% Petit Verdot are planted.

The wine director is Bob Levy, the consultant is Michel Rolland, the vineyard manager is Mary Ma, and the winemaker is Corey Empting, who have remained the same members for 30 years since the company's founding. I'm working on wine. By conducting scientific research while incorporating European traditions and techniques, they rapidly succeeded in narrowing the quality gap in winemaking with Europe. With a winery and underground cellar that combine the latest technology, the winery has produced great wines that combine tradition and innovation since its first vintage in 1990.
