Bond Quella Napa Valley 2014 – Cult Cabernet from the absolute top shelf

Bond Quella Napa Valley 2014 is not just a wine – it’s an experience from the absolute elite of Napa Valley. This is one of the most coveted single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon wines from Bond Estate, created by the legendary Bill Harlan. Known for its finesse and silky texture, the 2014 vintage delivers a wine with power, elegance and enormous ageing potential.

This wine appeals to collectors, enthusiasts and customers seeking the very best in American wine. Bond is the sister property to Harlan Estate, and the quality is similarly uncompromising – but often at a more accessible price. Quella is among the most elegant expressions in the Bond portfolio, showing a more refined and aromatic style than many other Napa Cabernets.

In the glass, the wine appears deep and intense with a dark ruby red color. The nose is complex and layered with notes of sun-ripened blackcurrant, black cherry, violet, graphite, cedar and subtle spices from barrel aging. The palate is silky and concentrated with a perfect balance of fruit, tannin and acidity. The finish is long, precise and almost endless.

This is a wine that can be enjoyed now after decanting, but will also develop beautifully over the next 20-30 years. Perfect with hearty beef dishes, game or as a wine for special occasions.
