The 2001 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.

98 pts - Wine Advocate

The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Melbury (a dead ringer for Pauillac) has an opaque blue/purple color and an extraordinarily sweet nose of charcoal, lead pencil shavings, cedar wood, black currants, licorice and spice box. Full-bodied, with great intensity, purity and texture, this is a wonderfully dense, full-throttle wine that is still an adolescent and likely to stay one for at least another 5-7 years. Look for it to age gracefully well past 20-30+ years.- Robert Parker Jr. (06/2011)

96 pts - Vinous

Black cherry, cedar, smoke, tobacco and grilled herbs give the 2001 Melbury its distinctive masculine personality. The 2001 is an especially dark, brooding Melbury that will appeal most to readers who enjoy structured, powerful wine. It should drink well for another 10 years or so. This is classic 2001.- Antonio Galloni (11/2017)
