2001 BOND Melbury:"Has stunning fruit, for starters. Sheer, pure, concentrated nose of cassis and cherry. Subtle oak in the background, lending vanilla, toast and caramel nuances. Fabulous texture and weight, fine as velvet. Magnificently lush, full-bodied. Fantastic finish." - 95/100, Wine Enthusiast
2001 BOND St. Eden: "The debut vintage of this offshoot from Harlan estate offers a nose filled with smoke, blackberry, earth, charcoal, tobacco and cassis. While rich and concentrated, this is more of a finesse style of California Cabernet Sauvignon, which ends with a fresh, sensuous, spice, earth and black cherry liqueur filled finish." - 95/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
2001 BOND Vecina Napa Valley: "Very fine wine. Denser, richer, more powerful than the other Bond '01s. In the mouth, it has a molten quality, like liquid lead or mercury; strong flavors of plums, bitter chocolate, cassis, and good, rich oak. Pretty astringent now in tannins, it's firm and hard, but complex and layered." - 96/100, Wine Enthusiast
