Intro: Sourced from select hillside estates, the Cabernet Sauvignon wines of BOND vividly demonstrate the range of Napa Valley's finest terroirs. From the more than eighty vineyards we have worked with over the past quarter century, we have slowly and vigilantly selected five sites. BOND became our covenant and shared commitment to produce only the best expression of the land.

Aging: French Oak Barrels
Tasting Notes: Wine Enthusiast 94 Points: “This second label of Bond is so rich and opulent, it’s hard to believe it’s the least expensive of Harlan’s stable. Masses of cherries, blackberries, chocolate and vanilla-caramel new oak, accented with mint and herbs, leading to a refined, smoothly tannic finish. Just delicious.” (WE) Feb 2007
