While the Harlan shined this didn't in context. Sadly as I normally love Quella.

More lush than the 2009 with notes of plum, dark currant, red fruit and molasses. Weighty and wonderfully tannic you have to pair with a lovely seasoned rich lamb or second bottle because it goes too quickly.

My fav Bond. Not quite up to what the 2006 was but still has the minerality that I love from this over the other vineyards.

Dry, elegant, tannic. Needs time. Nice finish. Bench fruit.
