2019 Bond, Melbury, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 98

The 2019 is a stunning Melbury. Bright and focused, with great depth, the 2019 dazzles right out of the gate. All the signatures of this site are front and center.

The more time passes, and the more I get to know the Bond wines, the more I am starting to think Melbury belongs at top of the hierarchy. The 2019 is superb. [Antonio Galloni, 02/16/2023]
