Bond Melbury 2016, Napa Valley, California

Happy 4th! It is time for my
#FridayCabernetfix.

Deep inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Fruity on the nose and full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Showing black fruits with cedar, chocolates, vanilla, herbs, tobacco, chocolates, spices and black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This beautiful 9 year old Napa Bordeaux blend is still young, but already drinking wonderfully. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and complex.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 3 hours in the decanter.

This Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years. Showing great potential to become a 97+ point wine. Would be nice to revisit it in 6 years.

A gorgeous sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

A blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon grapes with Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.

14.8% alcohol by volume.

94 points.

$750.
