{"product_id":"2018-bond-melbury-napa-valley","title":"2018 Bond, Melbury, Napa Valley","description":"The 2018 Bond Melbury bottling originates from a seven-acre hillside vineyard located east of Rutherford, where ancient sedimentary soils with compressed clay and humus, coupled with a south-southeasterly exposure overlooking Lake Hennessey, inherently lend elegance to primarily Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Bond's dedicated vineyard team meticulously manages these specific parcels, allowing for a precise translation of this terroir through their minimal intervention winemaking philosophy. The 2018 Napa Valley growing season, characterized by moderate temperatures and an extended, unhurried harvest, facilitated a slow and optimal phenolic ripening. This resulted in a wine with exceptional structural finesse, a harmonious mid-palate weight, and a refined, silky tannin profile, all balanced by a sustained natural acidity. Following approximately 20-22 months of aging in new French oak, the Melbury expresses its distinct site with depth and graceful persistence.","brand":"Armins Rusis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47628809634040,"sku":"19485","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/mwcwine.com\/products\/2018-bond-melbury-napa-valley","provider":"Manhattan Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
