To celebrate three decades of BOND, sommeliers gathered at La Petite Maison Hong Kong for a lunch hosted by Max Kast MS, Estate Director of BOND.
Rather than focusing solely on individual vineyard sites, the discussion centred on the passage of time — how great Napa Valley wines evolve, and how site identity remains constant across vintages.
A highlight of the tasting was the opportunity to experience Vecina across two generations. The youthful Vecina 2022 showed impressive structure, dark fruit and mineral tension, while Vecina 2015 revealed the added complexity that comes with bottle age, unfolding layers of roasted coffee, savoury spice and remarkable persistence.
Alongside it, Pluribus 2022 offered a compelling contrast, expressing the concentration and energy characteristic of its steep volcanic mountain site.
Thirty years after the project was conceived, BOND continues to demonstrate that Napa Valley’s finest vineyard sites are capable not only of power and precision, but also of extraordinary longevity.
Thank you to Max Kast and our partners for an engaging afternoon of conversation, reflection and exceptional wines.
