2009 Bond, St Eden, Napa Valley - Magnum

The 2009 Bond St. Eden bottling is a direct outcome of the winery's singular commitment to site-specific Cabernet Sauvignon, with their in-house team meticulously cultivating this designated Grand Cru vineyard. Located on an 11-acre rocky knoll just north of the Oakville Crossroad, St. Eden is defined by its iron-rich fractured volcanic soil and distinct northern exposure. The 2009 growing season, characterized by moderate, steady temperatures and a late-season Indian Summer, allowed for extended hang time and balanced phenolic ripeness while retaining healthy natural acidity. This resulted in a wine expressing significant structural depth, featuring fine-grained tannins, a broad mid-palate, and a persistent undercurrent of acidity that underscores its age-worthiness. Offered in Magnum, this format further supports the wine's inherent balance and capacity for graceful evolution.
