The 2018 vintage of Bond St. Eden is a remarkable expression of its unique terroir, sourced from an 11-acre north-facing vineyard on a rocky knoll just north of the Oakville Crossroad. The iron-rich, volcanic soils lend the wine a distinctive power and finesse, creating a balance between depth, complexity, and refinement. The growing season was long and steady, allowing for optimal ripening and resulting in a wine with exceptional purity and structure.
