2015 Bond, Vecina, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 96

The 2015 Vecina is terrific. It deftly balances fruit intensity and structure. Sage, rosemary, tobacco and cedar play off a core of dark-toned fruit. Time in the glass releases hints of black olive, tobacco and new leather. The 2015 remains quite youthful. It should drink well for another 10-15 years. [Antonio Galloni, 01/11/2025]

Anticipated maturity: 2025-2035

"Bottled in early 2018, the 2015 Vecina is deep garnet-purple in color, with baked blackberries, black cherries and blackcurrant cordial aromas that leap from the glass with nuances of roses, pencil lead, menthol and mocha. The palate is full-bodied, very fine and incredibly seductive with a solid frame supporting the generous layers, finishing long and exotic." [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 29/10/2018]

Anticipated maturity: 2021-2049
