BOND QUELLA 750 ml

Description

Discover the captivating essence of Bond Quella, a red wine hailing from California's Napa Valley. Perched on a 9-acre site in the eastern hills, the Quella vineyard thrives on a steep, southwest-facing incline studded with cobble, rocks, and deposits of tufa volcanic ash. This distinctive landscape infuses the wine with unmistakable minerality and sharp focus, setting it apart in every sip.

The 2020 vintage unfolds with vivid clarity, harmonizing bright blue fruit flavors alongside graphite notes that lead to a poised, lively close. Its deep garnet-purple hue draws you in, while the bouquet bursts with savory sagebrush and thyme intertwined with blackberry and cherry, accented by crushed stone, tobacco, and black olive whispers. On the palate, expect a medium body enriched by a saline mineral edge framing red berry notes, supported by firm, finely textured tannins and a spark of freshness. The finish stretches out, multifaceted and etched with persistent minerality.

Celebrated by experts, Bond Quella earned 98 points from James Suckling, 95 from Decanter, and 94 from Vinous Antonio Galloni, reflecting its exceptional quality. At 14.5% ABV in a 750 ml bottle, this dry red (sweetness level 01) invites enjoyment starting in 2024 through 2044. Though ready now, it promises deeper layers with time in the cellar.

To unlock its full potential, decant for 2-3 hours, allowing aromas and structure to bloom. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F) to highlight its nuances. Pair it alongside roasted game meats, a grilled ribeye steak, or robust aged cheeses such as Comté or Gouda, where its mineral drive and fruit purity elevate the meal.

Whether savoring solo or sharing at a gathering, Bond Quella delivers a profound Napa Valley experience, blending terroir-driven precision with elegant complexity. Secure your bottle and let this standout red become the centerpiece of your next occasion.
