2012 Bond, Vecina, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 96

The 2012 Vecina is a dark, brooding beauty. Lavish dark plum, chocolate, new oak, licorice and sweet spice infuse the 2012 with tons of textural richness. The 2012 offers plenty of nuance but also has the depth to drink well for another decade, maybe more [Antonio Galloni, 09/05/2024]

Anticipated maturity: 2023-2030

From an 11-acre vineyard sitting near Bond’s winery and the Harlan estate, the 2012 Vecina Proprietary Red is the perfect Napa version of a hypothetical blend of a La Mission Haut-Brion and Mouton-Rothschild. This is riveting Cabernet Sauvignon with great intensity, a killer fragrance of burning embers, charcoal, gravel, blackberry, cassis and earth. Fabulously intense and full-bodied, with majestic flavor intensity, a skyscraper-like mouthfeel, incredible purity and length, and supple tannins, this magnificent wine comes closest to the great Harlan Estate itself. Drink it over the next 35 years. [Robert M. Parker, Jr., 27/10/2015]
