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.

Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
94 Points, Tasting Panel
This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
