What to Expect

The classic Bordeaux blends rely on either Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon for the bulk of the wine with additions of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec helping to add complexity, color, body and structure to the finished wine.

Winemakers Notes

Bond Melbury Napa Valley 2002 A luxurious style, plush, rich and concentrated, with
layers of mouthcoating currant, black cherry, blackberry and plum, with a touch of
mocha-laced oak showing through on the finish. This packs a wallop of flavor but
manages to be elegant and polished. Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2007 through 2014.

Sweet, stylish and pure, with a suave, fine-grained texture and subtle flavors of currant, raspberry, iron, tobacco and minerals. Lush and perfectly balanced; a bit less roasted in character than the superb 2001, which I again rated 94 points in early March. Finishes with outstanding, mounting persistence. Showing spectacularly right now. Combines great sweetness and richness with uncanny finesse and purity of flavor. In theory at least, this is the most elegant wine in the Bond stable. The pH of this wine is typically read more...
