Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This second label of Bond is right up there with the named wines. It is virtually undistinguishable from Vecina, although perhaps a shade less profound and more obvious. A terrific Cabernet-based wine, rich, powerful and ageable. At less than half the price of Bond, it’s a comparative value.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is the second label of Bond, a blend of various vineyards. As such, it’s one of the best buys in the Harlan stable, retaining the lyrical balance of all its wines. Superrich in chocolate and cassis flavors, the wine is distinguished and refined despite its size. Hard to exaggerrate the richness and beauty of this classic claret.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This second label of BOND is so rich and opulent, it’s hard to believe it’s the least expensive of Harlan’s stable. Masses of cherries, blackberries, chocolate and vanilla-caramel new oak, accented with mint and herbs, leading to a refined, smoothly tannic finish. Just delicious.
