2020 BOND, Terroir Portfolio, Napa Valley [Melbury, St. Eden, Pluribus, Quella, Vecina], Case of 5 Btls

JS99 Vecina "The depth of fruit in this is pretty extraordinary, with deep and dark fruit on the nose of blackberries, chocolate, ink pot, and dark chocolate. Precise and complete. Full-bodied with very fine and energetic tannins and fresh acidity. Red and black currants. Brightness throughout. Needs four to five years to open, but what a wine for the vintage." JS Feb 2023

JS98 Pluribus "Aromas of crushed stone, oyster shell and blackcurrants. Cement. Full-bodied. Very muscular and strong in its tannin structure. Flexing. But they give a fine texture at the same time. Very toned. One for the cellar." JS Feb 2023

JS98 St. Eden "Blue fruit, ink, plum and chocolate aromas. Full-bodied yet very framed and structured with dusty tannins that give a layered mouthfeel and a chewy finish. Solid core of fruit and structure. Needs four to six years to open." JS Feb 2023

JS98 Quella "Plums and strawberries with lilacs. Watermelon. Flowers. Complex. Medium to full body. Very fine tannins. Walnuts and bark. Tea, too. Lovely finish." JS Feb 2023

JS98 Melbury "So perfumed with red roses and forest floor, plums and bark. Complex. Full- to medium-bodied with very fine tannins and a tangerine, orange zest and berry finish. Raspberries, too. Tangy and extremely long. Attractive now but will age beautifully." JS Feb 2023
