FEATURES
The 2014 Bond Quella is a highly acclaimed Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, produced from the 9-acre Quella vineyard known for its low yields and distinctive salinity. The 2014 vintage in Napa offered ideal conditions, with a dry, even-tempered growing season leading to a compact yet high-quality harvest, yielding wines of exceptional concentration and refined tannins. James Suckling awarded it 97 points, noting aromas of coffee, dark berries, blueberries, and cocoa, with a full-bodied, firm, and very silky palate, ultra-fine tannins, and a savory, mineral, and bright finish. Robert Parker also gave it 96 points, describing a deep garnet-purple color with scents of blackberry preserves, fruitcake, crushed rocks, cigar box, dried Provence herbs, and Indian spices. The wine is opulent and texturally generous, with pliant tannins and excellent freshness, finishing with impressive length and mineral tension, and is expected to drink well from 2022 through 2038. 【 A Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with fantastic structure and a signature salinity. 】
🍴 This powerful and refined Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent match for rich, savory dishes. Consider pairing it with grilled prime rib, slow-braised short ribs, or a hearty venison stew.

🥂 The 2014 Bond Quella is perfect for a celebratory dinner, a special occasion with close friends, or a serious wine tasting where its complexity and aging potential can be fully appreciated. It's a wine that commands attention and offers a memorable experience.
