The 2002 Bond Melbury 750ml is from the Napa Valley region of California. Bond Winery, inspired by one-of-a-kind Grand Cru Burgundian philosophies, makes terroir-specific Cabernet Sauvignon. Bond’s five cru’s (vineyards) – Melbury, Vecina, St. Eden, Pluribus and Quella – are located in different parts of the Napa Valley and have proven to consistently produce super high quality fruit. Proprietor Bill Harlan, along with Robert Levy as Director of Winegrowing, Cory Empting as Winemaker and Mary Maher as Vineyard Manager, are focused on fulfilling Bill Harlan’s vision of creating terroir expressions of the highest caliber that will endure for centuries. And based on critic reviews and market demand, they are clearly succeeding.

100 pts - Wine Advocate

["The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Melbury, which comes from a hillside vineyard site near Lake Hennessey, is showing even better than it did in its youth. Probably years away from full maturity, the wine has an extraordinary aromatic profile of smoky meats intermixed with blackberry, creme de cassis, charcoal, lead pencil shavings and espresso. Dense, opulent and full-bodied, with terrific fruit, this is a showcase style of vintage for a wine of such great ripeness and massive intensity. This extraordinary effort displays oodles of glycerin and fabulous purity, while the oak has been completely absorbed. The cooler hillside climate of blue fruits and spring flowers is also present as the wine aerates in the glass. This wine has at least another 15-30 years of potential ahead of it. - WA, RP (6/2012)"]

["Firm, pure, rich and concentrated, dense and youthful, this delivers blackberry, wild berry, olive, currant, mocha and black licorice flavors, ending with chewy tannins and excellent length.—2002 California Cabernet blind retrospective (May 2012). Drink now through 2022. 700 cases made. — JL (08/2012)"]
