This is really crazy with decadent and opulent aromas of dark fruit and sliced meat. Hints of dried fruit, too. Sexy. Full-bodied with firm and silky tannins that fan out into the wine and deliver a beautiful frame and focus. Drink or hold.

Always a “Wow” wine, the 2016 Quella doesn’t disappoint, showing its classic, savory, mineral style as well as stunning notes of blueberries, plums, spice box, herbs de Provence, and melted licorice. This full-bodied, ripe, powerful wine has a wealth of tannins yet leans on its depth of fruit and opulence at the moment. It needs 7-8 years of bottle age, but it’s a rock star Napa Valley Cabernet that will keep for 3 decades.

The 2016 Quella is bright, focused and also one of the more tightly wound wines in this range today. Savory and aromatic, the Quella impresses for its precision and captivating beauty. Intensely savory and aromatic, the 2016 is a Cabernet built on energy and tension. Time in the glass brings out a range of licorice, sage, spice, tobacco and cedar overtones, but more than anything else, the Quella is a wine of completeness and harmony that has really come together well over the last year.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Quella slips seductively out of the glass with notes of warm black plums, blueberry preserves, licorice and crème de cassis with suggestions of wild sage, pencil lead, camphor and Marmite toast. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is like a tightly wound spring, featuring bags of black fruit and earthy nuances and a solid, grainy frame, finishing long and refreshing.

Since its creation in 1997, Bond estate's wines have come to compete with Harlan Estate and Screaming Eagle at Napa’s very top table of cult-following, micro-production wines. Having made his name with the eponymous Oakville estate Harlan Estate, in 1997 Bill Harlan started assembling a team of top wine-growers and wine-makers to embark on a new venture. This was nothing less than an audacious attempt to create new ‘Grand Cru’ Bordeaux blend wines from the best parcels across Napa Valley. Bond is a terroir-driven project. Harlan has selected only 5 parcels (out of the more than 80 vineyards they have worked with over twenty five years) because they vividly demonstrate the range of Napa Valley's finest terroirs. The 5 tiny hillside estates (ranging from 7 to 11 hectares) are therefore all quite different.
