The Story
Bond St. Eden is one of the five "Grand Cru" single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons produced by the Harlan family to showcase the diverse geography of Napa Valley. Sourced from an 11-acre estate situated on a rocky, iron-rich volcanic knoll in the Oakville Bench, this wine is often characterized as the most opulent and "feminine" expression in the portfolio, despite its substantial power. It features a strikingly aromatic profile of red and black currants, crushed violets, and sweet tobacco, seamlessly integrated with notes of crème de cassis and graphite. On the palate, it is full-bodied and lush, showcasing a seamless texture with fine-grained, velvety tannins and a persistent, mineral-driven energy.
