2000 Bond, Vecina, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 92

Another inflection point in this tasting appears with the 2000 Vecina, the first wine in this vintage that is mature. That said, the 2000 has also aged gracefully. Sweet tobacco, dried herbs, dried cherry, menthol and cedar give the wine its distinctive lifted aromatics. Soft and caressing in feel, the 2000 is probably best enjoyed over the next handful of years. Although not the most demonstrative or typical Vecina, the 2000 is very, very pretty.

Robert Parker 90

The dense ruby/purple-colored 2000 Vecina offers up aromas of loamy earth, black fruits, chocolate, and toasty wood. I would not call it superficial, but it is no match for its younger sibling. Medium-bodied, with beautiful fruit, excellent purity, and a long, complex finish, it will drink well for 10-13 years. [Robert Parker, 12/01/2003]
