Bond Estates Melbury

Bond Estates Melbury is produced by the Harlan family, the same family behind Harlan Estate, one of Napa Valley's most sought-after cult wines. The Bond label was created to focus specifically on single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon bottlings from distinct Napa Valley sites, with Melbury being one of the original vineyard designates.

The Melbury vineyard is situated on a hillside in the western mountains of Napa Valley, contributing to the wine's concentrated terroir-driven character. The vineyard's specific elevation and steep aspect influence drainage, sun exposure, and the intensity of the Cabernet Sauvignon fruit grown there.

Bond Estates Melbury is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine sourced exclusively from the single Melbury vineyard. The bottling is designed to highlight the unique characteristics of this specific hillside site, offering a concentrated expression of Napa Valley mountain terroir.

Bond Estates Melbury is positioned at the ultra-premium end of the Napa Valley market, with bottles typically selling for several hundred dollars each. The wine is produced in limited quantities from a single vineyard, and it is primarily allocated through a mailing list, which contributes to its scarcity and high secondary-market prices.
