James Suckling: 99 Points
Blackberry, asphalt, leather and spice with dried flowers. Medium-to full-bodied with fine, layered tannins that are vertical and extremely deep and long. Super fine tannins. Seamless. Lasts for minutes. Graceful and thoughtful.
Wine Advocate: 99 Points
My pick of the 2019s from Bond is the 2019 Vecina, which originates from a terraced, east-facing vineyard near the Bond winery, in the western hills of Oakville. It offers tremendous complexity on the nose, with hints of bay leaf, dried sage and pine needles set against a core of ripe cherries and raspberries. In the mouth, it's silky and lush, with terrific length and vibrant fruit on the finish. Give it a few years of age, then drink it over the next two decades.
Vinous: 98 Points
The 2019 Vecina is a dense, explosive wine that also reflects a move towards greater freshness and energy in the Bond wines. There's so much to the 2019, but it clearly is going to need a few years in bottle to be at its best. Dark red-tones fruit, cedar, tobacco and expressive savory notes suggest a bright future lies ahead.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
A round, polished style, with a core of warmed cassis and plum compote rolling through, plus a coating of dark licorice and a backdrop of roasted vanilla.
