$2125.00 price per bottle
The 2018 Bond Quella is from a 9-acre site located in the eastern hills overlooking the heart of Napa Valley. This steeply sloped, southwest-facing vineyard is an ancient riverbed composed of cobble and rocks interwoven with pockets of tufa (volcanic ash), contributing to the wine's distinctive minerality and complexity. The 2018 vintage benefited from favorable growing conditions, resulting in a wine that harmoniously balances depth, elegance, and aging potential. Tasting Notes Color: Dark ruby garnet with purple reflections and delicate edge brightening. Nose: Fine tobacco, black cherry fruit underlaid with nougat notes, hints of ripe figs, and dark minerality. Palate: Complex and mineral-driven with an integrated tannin structure, finely savory, blackberry notes on the finish, and a lingering aftertaste. Accolades James Suckling: 98 points Jeb Dunnuck: 97 points Vinous (Antonio Galloni): 97 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 95–97 points Wine Spectator: 96 points Optimal Drinking Window 2024–2040. While approachable now, this wine will continue to evolve and gain complexity with additional 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 grilled venison fillet with blackberry sauce, complementing the wine's rich profile.
