Bond Estates St. Eden

Bond Estates is produced by Bill and Harriet Harlan, the same team behind the legendary Harlan Estate in Napa Valley. Founded in 1996, the Bond project is dedicated entirely to producing distinct, single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon wines from specially chosen sites across the valley. St. Eden is one of their celebrated 'Grand Cru' vineyard designates.

The St. Eden vineyard is located in the Oakville AVA of Napa Valley. This specific site is situated on an alluvial cone, giving the soil a distinct gravelly makeup that provides excellent drainage. The terroir of Oakville is known for producing intense, structured, and deeply colored Cabernet Sauvignon.

Bond Estates St. Eden is an ultra-premium, highly sought-after wine that typically costs between $400 and $600 per bottle. Like its sister winery Harlan Estate, the wines are strictly allocated to an exclusive mailing list. The meticulous viticulture and Bill Harlan's reputation for excellence drive these high prices.

St. Eden is characterized by its concentrated dark fruit flavors, structured tannins, and distinct notes of graphite and cedar. The wine is built to age gracefully for decades in the cellar, a signature trait of Bill Harlan's Cabernet Sauvignon projects. It represents a powerful, refined expression of the Oakville AVA terroir.
