VECINA is coined from the Spanish word for neighbor. This is our endeavor with the property situated directly southeast of the BOND winery.

Critical Acclaim

96+ points Wine Advocate

The most backward, earthy, muscular/masculine wine of the group is the 2001 Vecina. Still quite tightly knit, with loads of rugged tannins as well as distinctive notes of graphite and earth reminiscent of a St-Estephe such as Chateau Montrose, the wine displays sweet, earthy blueberry and blackberry fruit, but then the tannins kick in. This full-bodied, massive wine needs a good 5-7 years of cellaring at the minimum, and whether it ever approaches the seamless/flawless perfection of a St. Eden or Melbury remains to be seen. (RP, 05/2011)

96 points Wine Enthusiast

Very fine wine. Denser, richer, more powerful than the other Bond ’01s. In the mouth, it has a molten quality, like liquid lead or mercury; strong flavors of plums, bitter chocolate, cassis, and good, rich oak. Pretty astringent now in tannins, it’s firm and hard, but complex and layered. *Cellar Selection* (06/2005)

95 points Vinous

The 2001 Vecina is dark, powerful and brooding, it always has been. Savory herbs, iron, tobacco, leather and menthol play off a core of intense dark red fruit, with potent tannins that wrap it all together. Like all the BOND wines, the Vecina shows the massively extracted style that was in vogue at the time. (AG, 10/2021)

94 points Wine Spectator

Dense, tight and tannic yet enormously complex, with blackberry, black licorice, graphite, charcoal, mocha, dried herb and cedary notes that are intense and persistent, working through ripe, chewy tannins. (JL, 10/2011)
