Bond Vecina 2018 750ml
$2125.00 price per bottle
The 2018 Bond Vecina is sourced from an 11-acre east-facing vineyard situated in the western foothills of Oakville, just southeast of the Bond winery. The terraced slopes of this site are composed of iron-rich, volcanic soils, contributing to the wine's distinctive power and intensity. The 2018 vintage benefited from favorable growing conditions, resulting in a wine that harmoniously balances depth, complexity, and elegance. Tasting Notes Color: Deep garnet-purple. Nose: Expressive aromas of blackcurrants, black cherries, and blackberry pie, complemented by notes of cedar, charcoal, tar, pencil lead, and fragrant earth. Palate: Full-bodied with a rock-solid structure of firm, grainy tannins and vibrant freshness supporting the generous black fruit flavors. Finish: Long and layered, leaving a lingering mineral impression. Accolades James Suckling: 100 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 97–99 points Jeb Dunnuck: 98 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): 99 points Wine Spectator: 96 points Optimal Drinking Window 2025–2050. While approachable in its youth, this wine will continue to evolve and gain complexity with extended cellaring. Serving Suggestions Decanting: 3 hours to allow the wine to fully express its aromatics and structure. Serving Temperature: 16–18°C (60–64°F) for optimal enjoyment. Pairings: Ideal with roasted game meats, grilled ribeye steak, or aged cheeses like Comté and Gouda.
