QUELLA is the name for the wine from a 9-acre site of mostly forest located in the eastern hills overlooking the heart of the Napa Valley. Making its debut with the 2006 vintage, the wine is derived from the German word for a pristine spring or artesian aquifer. The vineyards slope steeply to the southwest. It is actually an ancient riverbed made up of cobbles and rocks interwoven with pockets of tuff (volcanic ash) that were uplifted during the last volcanic activity in the area. As with all Bond crus and also with Harlan, 2018 was a great year. According to Will Harlan and his team, this vintage is the most beautiful ever and this is clearly reflected in all the reviews. The 2018 Bond Quella has a deep garnet purple color and opens with the most beautiful perfume of violets, red and black plums, Morello cherries and cassis plus hints of iron ore and crushed stone. The medium to full taste delivers wonderful energy and tension, framed by fine-grained tannins and an aftertaste with a beautiful purity. Sourced from select hillside estates, BOND's Cabernet Sauvignon wines vividly showcase the range of Napa Valley's finest terroirs. From the more than eighty vineyards worked over the past quarter century, five locations have been slowly and vigilantly selected to produce only the finest expression of the land and these are now among the absolute 'Grand Cru's' of Napa Valley. The Bond wine excels in beauty and storage potential. The small hillside Cabernet vineyards, ranging in size from 7 to 11 hectares, are the basis for BOND's iconic wines. The very limited quantity and the fact that approximately 85% of the wines remain within America makes these wines extremely scarce in Europe. Bond's owner is the equally iconic winery Harlan Estate - so to speak, the Mouton Rothschild of Napa Valley ( is also an importer of this). is the Dutch importer of these iconic Bond wines and supplies the wine directly from the Bond winery, so there is no parallel dark import. The Bond bottles are all protected with an identification number and you can check this with a verification system so that you can be sure that you are dealing with a real Bond (there are more fakes than real Bond and Harlan in the market) and therefore with a bottle. who hasn't wandered around the world in questionable circumstances.
