Description
A Napa Valley Cabernet with Velvety Smooth Tannins
BOND Estates is the brainchild of famous California vintner Bill Harlan, first revealed through the inaugural vintage of 1997, which was vinified at the legendary Harlan Estate winery. A brand new winery for the wines of BOND was constructed in time for the 2000 harvest. Over time, the BOND portfolio has come to include five single-vineyard, single-variety Cabernet Sauvignon "Grand Cru" wines of Napa Valley, each with its own personality. The Vecina 2013 from BOND comes from the 11-acre Vecina vineyard, planted exclusively with Cabernet Sauvignon. The name "vecina" (meaning "neighbor" in Spanish) refers to the proximity of the vineyard to the BOND winery. The vines here grow at an altitude between 221-330 feet above sea level, on terraced slopes, in volcanic soils. The thermal amplitude of this terroir results in beautifully layered and concentrated wines, with enough acidity and tannins to be aged in bottle for some time.The Vecina 2013 by BOND Estates reveals elements of forest floor, along with black fruits (blackcurrant and blackberries), cocoa and fresh herbs on the nose. On the palate, the wine is extremely concentrated and pure, with velvety soft tannins and a very creamy, mocha-flavored note of oak. The wine has extremely savory character that creates a sensation of warmth, ending in a charmingly long and voluminous finish. Delicacy and power are present in equal measure in a wine that will keep well over the next 4-5 decades.
