BOND Estates is Bill Harlan's most scientifically-terroir-comparatively-ambitious and five-distinct-Napa-Valley-vineyard-terroir-exploratively-founding luxury Cabernet Sauvignon program. After establishing Harlan Estate as Napa Valley's most consistently 100-point-scoring luxury Cabernet program, Bill Harlan created BOND in 2001 as a deliberately ambitious five-terroir scientific exploration of what five dramatically different Napa Valley vineyard sites produce in Cabernet Sauvignon when the same Harlan-quality winemaking precision guides each individual terroir expression.
The five BOND estates — Vecina (Spanish for 'neighbor,' a tribute to proximity to Harlan Estate in Oakville), Melbury (named for the English manor at the heart of Bill Harlan's most personal English countryside fantasy), St. Eden (the most spiritual-paradise-naming estate on Spring Mountain), Quella (the most ancient-Italian-musical-term-naming Spring Mountain estate), and Pluribus (Latin for 'from many,' the most comprehensively-naming tribute to the American democratic ideal) — provide the most comprehensively five-terroir-comparative and most dramatically individual single-vineyard-specific Cabernet Sauvignon terroir education available from any Napa Valley luxury program.
Wine Advocate has scored BOND Vecina, Melbury, St. Eden, Quella, and Pluribus at 95–100 points across multiple vintages, placing the most scientifically-terroir-comparatively-ambitious and personally Bill-Harlan-five-vineyard-exploration-founding luxury Napa Valley Cabernet program among the most critically perfect and most private-allocation-impossible luxury wine appointments in California.
