Magic and power have long been intertwined in human history. The concept of magic dates back to ancient civilizations, where individuals believed that certain practices could manipulate the natural world and tap into supernatural forces. These individuals, known as witches or sorcerers, were thought to possess special abilities that enabled them to perform extraordinary feats. In many cultures, magic was associated with mysterious rituals and spells. People believed that by invoking certain words or performing specific actions, one could harness these mystical powers. These beliefs often led to the creation of elaborate rituals and practices, with the hope of accessing supernatural abilities.

The Mascot 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
The Mascot is a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon made from distinct hillside vineyards; specifically the younger vines of BOND, Harlan Estate, and Promontory. It started out as a small project shared among the family, winemaking team, and close friends. Drawing fruit from blocks of recently replanted vineyards, The Mascot shares a glimpse into the evolution of its parent estates: a youthful snapshot of their future… With an athletic balance of energy and density, The Mascot is expressive and approachable early in its life with the potential to evolve long into the future…
Following a vintage full of changing conditions and demanding decision points, the steady and pleasant progress of the 2018 vintage left our team, at times, in limbo. Contradictory as it may seem, the dramas that sometimes punctuate the definitive action; yet the tranquil succession of weeks that emerged between spring and fall in 2018 left almost entirely open the question of when to harvest. Healthy rainfall in March and April preceded a benevolent summer, whose mildness was interrupted only briefly by a few warming periods. The fruit of the young vines maintained a measured balance that gave the team little indication that harvest was imminent. Fog and temperate days followed in September, when – relying more on instinct than empirical cues – we began to pick. This judgment – as well as the gentle nature of the season – is confirmed in the subtle, ethereal power of the vintage, which reveals itself first in the deep, brooding aromas of dark fruit, black tea, and herbal notes. The texture expands around a lifted structure, as powdery tannins gently resolve. This diffused, enigmatic softness is anchored on the mid-palate by a gratifying density, which prepares the senses for a flourish of hidden energy and vivid detail that illuminates the finish.

In some societies, magic was seen as a means to gain control and authority, allowing individuals to manipulate and exert their will over others. This association between magic and power often led to fear and suspicion from those who did not have access to these abilities. Historically, women were often associated with magic and were the primary targets of witch hunts and trials. This stemmed from the belief that women were more susceptible to the temptations of magic and were more likely to use it for nefarious purposes. These discriminatory practices have persisted throughout the centuries, resulting in the persecution and marginalization of countless women who were accused of practicing witchcraft. Despite the negative connotations and associations with magic, it has also been seen as a source of healing and spiritual connection. In many indigenous cultures, for example, shamans or medicine men/women use magic to restore balance and harmony within their communities. These practitioners are revered for their ability to tap into the spiritual realm and access healing energies. In modern times, the concept of magic and power has taken on new meanings. While some still view magic as a literal phenomenon, others see it as metaphorical, representing personal empowerment and the ability to manifest one's desires. Practices such as manifestation and visualization are often associated with this understanding of magic, as individuals seek to harness their inner power and create the life they desire. Overall, the relationship between magic and power is complex and multifaceted. It reflects humanity's eternal quest for understanding and control over the unknown. Whether viewed as supernatural abilities or as personal empowerment, magic and power continue to captivate and fascinate people throughout the world..
