Bond 2019 St Eden 1.5L

Bond 2019 St. Eden, with its roots embedded in the red rocky soil of the north-facing site sourced from the lofty Vaca Mountains, is a testament to its terroir. Debuting in the 2001 vintage, this wine consistently captivates with great focus, revealing an opulent "sweet" center complemented by alluring notes of crème de cassis, dark chocolate, and roasted herbs. The palate is characterized by a mineral-tinged expansiveness, showcasing a broad and lush concentration. Fine-grained tannins add a refined structure, contributing to the wine's overall harmony and ensuring a memorable and enduring finish.

Robert Parker - 98 Points

"From an iron-rich site just north of the Oakville Crossroad, the 2019 St. Eden boasts effusive aromas of ripe cherries and briary raspberries framed by subtle cedar shadings. Full-bodied, silky, plush and long, this is a terrific all-around effort that deserves a few years in the cellar and should drink well for at least two decades thereafter."

Antonio Galloni - 96+ Points

"The 2019 St. Eden is another wine the shows a move towards greater focus and energy in these wines. There's plenty of the classic St. Eden opulence, but also a good deal of tension. The 2019 has shut down mightily post-bottling, which is likely a very good sign for its long-term prospects. In fact, the St. Eden is one of the most reticent of the Bond 2019s, something that was rarely, if ever, the case previously. Dark fruit, gravel, mocha and dried herbs build into the long, substantial finish."
