2012 Bond, St Eden, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 95

The 2012 St. Eden is one of the more resolved wines in the BOND range. Cedar, mocha, tobacco, plum, gravel, incense and chocolate all meld together. Soft contours give the 2012 its succulent personality. Early tertiary notes suggest the 2012 has arrived a [Antonio Galloni, 09/05/2024]

Robert Parker 98

From an 11-acre vineyard just north of the Oakville corridor, the 2012 St. Eden shows gorgeous, cedary Christmas fruitcake notes, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, spice box, earth, and almost first growth Pauillac-like cassis and lead pencil shavings. Deep, full-bodied, and fabulously concentrated, this stunner flirts with perfection. Slightly more evolved than the Quella or Melbury, this wine may be the most drinkable out of the gate of all the Bond offerings in 2012. It should continue to evolve for at least 30+ years.
