最新2018年 整體Robert Parker 評鑑高達【96T】超高分 – 先說今年配額數量很少，看大家搶不搶的到了?•Will Harlan 用在自家人的酒! -【國際媒體Wine Advocate•RobertParker 評鑑 The Mascot 2018年超高分作品! 】•【出自哈蘭神秘隱藏版】•連名字也沒有取，也沒有想要上市，【The Mascot】一開始只是一個混釀實驗，Will Harlan 說服家人及釀酒團隊提供以Harlan酒莊、The PROMONTORY 酒莊及Bond Estate 酒莊，採用頂尖Kalon No.6號卡本內樹齡較年輕葡萄混釀，直到2008年推出第一個【The Mascot】上市年份後，這瓶真正出自哈蘭酒莊之手的神秘隱藏版，才真正對外曝光上市，但產量過少，直到現在大家只聞其名，卻不見其酒，產量比自家 Harlan Estate 及 Bond Estate 還少，美國本土自己也看不到，不賣美國消費者，看得出Will Harlan對它的重視度，可說是內行人懂的Harlan 入門酒!
The younger vines of BOND, Harlan Estate, and Promontory! From The Mascot
Harlan Estate 【 The Mascot 】跟 Harlan Estate 銷售分配系統相同，皆在 Mailing waiting list和美國高級餐廳，外面Wine Shop不易買到，The Mascot 以一個獨特的視角詮釋這Harlan Estate莊園的演變，J. Rabinson說「為何其它酒不能像此酒一樣？」，更稱其為「20世紀 十款最好的酒之一」。
附帶一提是Harlan Estate 酒標，採用雕版印刷術進行印刷的，除了具有防偽的作用外，Bill Harlan覺得採用雕版印刷術印刷出來的酒標更具有溫度和深度。其 The Mascot酒標非常特別，是一隻英國鬥牛犬，名為「王子」。這隻鬥牛犬是104年前印刷在銀行股票證書上，當時美國匹茲堡農民存款國家銀行總裁(Farmers Deposit National Bank of Pittsburgh) 委託刻在該銀行的股票憑證上。這隻英國鬥牛犬在銀行內問候著銀行的客戶及員工)，象徵銀行忠實、忠誠及為客戶服務的精神價值。

An otherwise even growing season in 2018 was made memorable by an earthquake that struck the Napa Valley in the early-morning hours of August 24th. Dry conditions that normally prevail at that time of year were unexpectedly altered; the geologic event had shifted the water table to the extent that many seasonal streams began to flow once again. This unusual circumstance brought unaccustomed moisture from the depths and, with it, renewed energy to many of the soils throughout the valley. In the wake of this phenomenon, we noticed subtle changes to the younger vines of BOND, Harlan Estate, and Promontory, which grew more vibrant as harvest approached. The resulting wine reflects this vibrance in its lift and flow across the palate, with its quality ringing true to the pedigree of its parent sites. Red fruit and baking spice intermingle on the nose, while on entry, the wine is soft, gently accelerating as it reveals athletic structure and shape, culminating in transparency and poise.
