The 2014s and 2015s from BOND are terrific across the board. I found the 2014s even more expressive than they were six months prior, when my colleague Steve Tanzer and I tasted through a complete retrospective of all the BOND wines. The 2015s are naturally bigger and richer than the 2014s, yet they are all incredibly site specific. As a reminder, the BOND portfolio is composed of five single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons from sites spread across the valley. With the exception of the St. Eden, all of the BOND sites are hillside parcels.

This is a dazzling set of wines from BOND and the team headed by Cory Empting. The 2014s continue to develop positively. I remember tasting those wines from barrel, before they were racked and being impressed by the energy of the wines. Today, the 2014s have all of that energy, plus striking finesse. The malos were quite long in 2014, but today, the wines are very complete. The 2013s are just as impressive, or more, than they were from barrel. Readers will find plenty of vintage 2013 magic in these exceptionally beautiful, vivid Napa Valley Cabernets.
