Bond St. Eden
| Vintage: | 2014 |

| Description: | Winemaker NotesSt. Eden is based upon an 11-acre rocky knoll that is part of a beautiful estate located just north of the Oakville Crossroad. Eden is an historical reference to this region's designation on nineteenth century maps. The red rocky soil of this northfacing site originates from high in the Vaca Mountains. St. Eden, which appeared first in the 2001 vintage, reliably shows great focus, an opulent âsweetâ center and notes of crème de cassis, dark chocolate, and roasted herbs. Mineral-tinged and broad on the palate, the wine consistently displays fine-grained tannins and a lush concentration.Critical AcclaimJames Suckling - 99ptsThe purity of fruit is fantastic with blackberries, blackcurrants, blueberries and hints of walnut shell. Full-bodied, tight and very focused. Chewy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Needs three or four years to come together. Top 100 Wine Of 2018Jeb Dunnuck - 97ptsThe Oakville release (yet it's from a steep hillside vineyard), the 2014 St. Eden has lots of graphite and dusty earth character as well as classic dark fruits, white chocolate, and toasty oak notes. It's a big, full-bodied, elegant, multi-dimensional beauty that has everything going for it. It's up with the crème de la crème of the vintage.Wine Spectator - 94ptsPure, rich and vibrant, with a tasty core of plum, blackberry, currant, anise and cedar flavors. Most impressive for the weight and refinement, remaining quite elegant and graceful despite the size. Best from 2020 through 2034. |
