It is always fascinating to taste through the BOND wines, as these five Cabernets are remarkably expressive of place. For many years, I considered the St. Eden and Vecina to be the flagship wines, but in recent years the Melbury and Pluribus have made significant strides. Those are both true hillside sites (St. Eden is closer to elevated valley floor/bench and Vecina is a lower hillside), where farming is naturally much more challenging. The 2016s are shaping up beautifully, while the 2015s need time in bottle to be at their best. This is a gorgeous range of wines from Bill Harlan and his team led by Bob Levy and Cory Empting.

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.
