Description

Blend: 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc
Vintage production: 203 cases

Vintner Tom Futo and his winemaker Jason Exposto have a nose for ‘Grand Cru’ terroir, with FUTO’s Oakville Estate and 5500 Stags Leap District Estate Vineyards renowned for producing stunning Cabernet-blends. There is a third site, the Red Head Vineyard, dedicated to their rarest label, He-li-an-thus. This miniscule production is reserved for the winery’s mailing list, making it the hardest of Tom and Jason’s wines to find. The reward is more than worth it!

It bears all the hallmarks of FUTO – elegance, purity, intensity and finesse. It stands apart for its expression of the rocky, cooler-climate site in Soda Canyon at the base of Atlas Peak, boasting some of the most alluring aromatics we’ve ever experienced. In the winery, Jason uses a combination of custom-made large oak barrels and clay amphorae.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

Jeb Dunnuck 94

A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, the deeply colored 2017 He-Li-An-Thus is still primary and juicy, with a rich, ripe bouquet of blue fruits, cassis, candied violets, and plums. Full-bodied, rounded, and sexy, it’s one of the most opulent and sexy wines in the vintage. It still has terrific freshness and elegance, as well as purity. Drink it over the coming 20 years or more.

2018 The Mascot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 1x75cl

Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon-based The Mascot offers a stunning expression of the Harlan Family's entire portfolio of world-class vineyards. The fruit is hand selected and vinified from the younger... vines at Harlan Estate, BOND and Promontory, making The Mascot a sensational glimpse into three of the most revered Estates in the World.   It began as a personal project by Will Harlan, who persuaded his family to allow him to select barrels of the 'Grand Cru' estates so he could create a wine to share at his own table. The Harlan winemaking team took some convincing at first, but eventually Cory Empting and his crew began to set aside certain barrels an annual basis to produce a special wine, according to Will’s selection.   This intimate bottling has a deliberate identity all of its own, its terroir lying not only in the origins of the fruit, which already has eyepopping pedigree, but also in the careful selection of barrels made by Will, Cory and the Mascot team. Blended with the same level of precision as the 'Grand Vins', The Mascot is a classic Napa Valley Cabernet expression, giving huge pleasure on release, but built to last.
