In the first decade, he has expanded the number of vineyard holdings to five separate wines in 2011, all made by the Harlan Estate winemaking team of Bob Levy and consulting oenologist Michel Rolland. There were only three cuvees in 2001 – from an 11-acre site on the western Oakville hillsides near Harlan Estate, the Vecina, St. Eden, an 11-acre stony knoll north of the Oakville Crossroad with a northern exposure, and from the steep slopes just north of Lake Hennessy with an eastern and southeastern exposure, east of Rutherford, the Melbury.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003eSince these fabulous 2001s were made, two other great vineyards have been added to the Bond portfolio. These are Quella, which is a 9 acre vineyard in the eastern hills of northern Napa Valley, planted on white volcanic ash called Tufa, and Pluribus, which is a high elevation vineyard planted on steep slopes of Spring Mountain with a northern and easterly exposure. All three 2001s showed phenomenally, and are still very young wines, with at least 15 to 20 more years of upside potential. In fact, in a cold cellar these wines probably have 40 or more years of aging potential, but few of us will be able to wait that long to see how they taste.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"first odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"width: 44.6494%;\"\u003eVarietal\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"width: 54.9815%;\"\u003eCabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"width: 44.6494%;\"\u003eVintage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"width: 54.9815%;\"\u003e2019\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"width: 44.6494%;\"\u003eRating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"width: 54.9815%;\"\u003e96 RP\/ 98 AG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"width: 44.6494%;\"\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"width: 54.9815%;\"\u003e750 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"width: 44.6494%;\"\u003eBottle Quantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"width: 54.9815%;\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"width: 44.6494%;\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"width: 54.9815%;\"\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"width: 44.6494%;\"\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"width: 54.9815%;\"\u003eCalifornia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"width: 44.6494%;\"\u003eLocation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"width: 54.9815%;\"\u003eNorth Coast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"width: 44.6494%;\"\u003eProducer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"width: 54.9815%;\"\u003eBond (Harlan)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"width: 44.6494%;\"\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"width: 54.9815%;\"\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"last odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"width: 44.6494%;\"\u003eWine Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"width: 54.9815%;\"\u003eTable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"first odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eRobert Parker\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003e96 RP - \u003cspan\u003eFrom a clay-rich, south-southwest-facing site overlooking Lake Hennessey, the 2019 Melbury boasts a decadent, almost Pomerol-like nose of ripe black cherries.
