  Tried the wine at the winery in 2021, tried it again 2 years later at home. Hour long decant. Really great wine, buttery smooth fruit. Good depth and complexity. Will only get better but drinking well now.

  This is such a good cabernet with a perfect pitch of intensity and ripe but not overdone black currant fruit. The finish is firm yet supple with complex stony mineral notes. The tannins are still prominent here and this should only improve with time. Lunch at the winery. 94+

  Epic Napa Trip - Day 2: Tasted at Bond Winery - We were fortunate to be able to try all their single vineyard cabernets side by side...what a treat! These wines took a little time to open up, but like most 2014 wines, these were very approachable even at this young age. Personally, I would hold all these wines a few years to further develop some additional nuances.
  
  TN - This wine was my second favorite (Vecina was my number 1). This had the plushest mouthfeel with layers of dark fruit, some chocolate and some earthy notes. Totally in my wheelhouse, even at this young age! 95+ to 96. This wine also kept improving throughout the tasting.

  Napa trip day 2 (Napa): Drank a good-sized glass over 1.5 hours at the winery. The fruit is plush, savory, with some vegetable notes. Fabulous, really my favorite of the lineup by a good amount.

  Delicious wine, but IMO a strangely short finish for a wine at this level. Seemed to drop away like a cracked tuning fork.
