The ultimate Napa cult winery, BOND, is a partnership by two of the most revered men in American wine, Bill Harlan and his winemaker Bob Levy. The two were at Merryvale together, making wine using more than 50 vineyards in the Napa Valley. Eventually though, Bill sold, but along with Bob, they kept five vineyard sites for a new project, one that no one could have predicted would be as big as it has become.
In Bond, Bill Harlan is able to create some of the most amazing Cabernets in the world and truly America’s answer to Bordeaux. The wines are huge, this one in particular Robert Parker, Jr. called a “30 year wine”. James Suckling took it a step further though bestowing perfect marks on the wine and calling it the best single-vineyard wine from Bond in the phenomenal 2010 vintage in Napa. Considering some of the others fetch over $1000/btl, it’s pretty high praise. This wine is every bit deserving of it. Its perfection is abundantly clear.

100 Points, James Suckling
This is the best single-vineyard cabernet sauvignon-based red from Bond in this vintage, showing incredible purity of fruit and seamless tannins and refinement. Amazing. Better from 2018 on.

Antonio Galloni called it, “hands down one of the wines of the vintage.” The Wine Advocate chipped in with “a refreshing, beautifully perfumed and skillfully crafted expression of the vintage.” Here’s what I’ll say: How could you do any better than securing a few bottles of a wine with 30-40 years of life left that is already showing better than giants such as Lafite, Margaux and Le Pin. There aren’t many years in Bordeaux’s history where one of the top 3-5 wines of the vintage was a $105 bottling and not one available at four figures.
Winemaker Patrick Brunet’s tiny Domaine Robert estate consists of 50-60 year old vines, deeply rooted in the granitic soils of Fleurie. What I love about him is that every vintage brings something new but it consistently stays excellent. In the newly released 2020 vintage, Patrick produced a concentrated, structured Beaujolais that’s roaring out of the gates but with the bones to improve in the bottle over the next decade. This is a fantastic bottle to have around.
In Burgundy’s outraegous 2019 vintage, this is one of the bottles I’m recommending people load up on. It’s gorgeous. Don’t just take my word for it, this is what The Wine Advocate had to say about the wine: “The 2019 Givry Rouge is already hard to resist, bursting with aromas of sweet berries and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, lively and charming, with melting tannins and juicy acids, it has turned out beautifully.”
This year, the Eastside Cuvee hails from a primo vineyard just off the Silverado Trail– perfectly positioned next to neighbors Caymus and Frog’s Leap and just down the road, Quintessa. Amongst the elite, Carl Roy’s team locked into some incredible fruit, with gorgeous blackberry jammy opulence, firm grippy tannins and that signature Rutherford earthiness to the finish that many try to emulate but can only be produced off the special soil from which this beauty was created.
