Lot #984. Bond St. Eden 2002

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 100 RP.
"The 2002 St. Eden, which comes from a valley floor vineyard in the Oakville corridor, is unreal. I had given the 2001 a perfect score, but the 2002 (made by the brain trust of on-site winemaker Bob Levy and outside French consultant Michel Rolland) is showing incredible elements of cedarwood, licorice, chocolate and creme de cassis as well as exquisite texture, full-bodied intensity, and unbelievable purity and length. It is only the second vintage for this vineyard, leased by Bill Harlan for several decades, and it has turned out to be a killer Cabernet Sauvignon and a great classic of Napa." Wine Advocate #201, Jun 2012
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $250
