Bond Melbury 2010 is a proprietary Cabernet Sauvignon-based Bordeaux-style blend from Napa Valley. The wine is sourced from the eponymous Melbury vineyard, a rocky, south-facing 7-acre hillside site overlooking Lake Hennessey in the hills east of Rutherford. Produced in a cooler 2010 vintage, this wine is known for its depth and structure. It reveals a flamboyant array of dark and red fruit lifted by notes of charcoal, spring flowers, black tea and baking spice. Exhibiting full body and a velvety texture, the wine possesses a pure and remarkably rich core, framed by chewy, yet polished tannins that demand extended cellaring for optimal enjoyment.
