2008 Bond Quella Napa Valley Red [WS94][WA93][JS93]

Producer: Bond Region: Napa Valley, California Blend: Bordeaux Red Blend  Year: 2008  Wine Spectator, 94 Points  "Firm and structured, with loamy earth, mocha and espresso, this is ripe and lively, with currant, blueberry and wild berry notes that are pleasingly subtle and detailed. Even more expansive and syrupy on the finish."  Wine Advocate, 93 Points "The 2008 Quella is a dark, brooding wine loaded with super-ripe dark black fruit, smoke, tar and licorice. It is a seriously intense wine that will require bottle age. This is an especially authoritative wine from Bond. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2028."  James Suckling, 93 Points  "This is the third vintage from this site. Licorice and flowers and lavender aromas. Full body, with super velvety tannins and a medium finish. Lovely wood on the finish. Sandalwood undertone. Give it a year or two to come together more."  Alcohol: 14.5%  *Discounts do not apply to items like this one in the Fine & Rare category. Price
