1999 BOND Vecina – Foundational Vintage of Napa Valley’s Grand Cru Vision

The 1999 BOND Vecina represents one of the earliest releases from BOND, Bill Harlan’s vision of creating a portfolio of “Grand Cru” Napa Valley vineyards. Sourced from a western benchland site near Harlan Estate, Vecina translates to “neighbor” and delivers a powerful, age-worthy expression of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This inaugural vintage set the tone for BOND’s reputation as one of the premier producers of California Cult Wines.

Tasting Notes

Now beautifully matured, the 1999 Vecina offers aromas of dried blackberry, cedarwood, and tobacco leaf, interwoven with subtle hints of graphite and smoked earth. On the palate, it shows remarkable structure, with evolved flavors of dark plum, espresso, and savory spice. Fine-grained tannins frame a long, persistent finish that highlights both power and refinement.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The 1999 Vecina is composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon planted on gravelly, volcanic soils with excellent drainage. The wine was vinified with meticulous attention to detail and aged for nearly two years in new French oak barrels. BOND’s philosophy emphasizes site transparency, showcasing how Napa’s greatest terroirs compare to First Growth benchmarks in Bordeaux.

Investment & Collectibility

As one of BOND’s first vintages, the 1999 Vecina holds historic significance and remains highly collectible. With limited production and its connection to Bill Harlan’s enduring legacy, it is an essential addition for collectors seeking rare Napa Valley bottlings with proven longevity. Perfect for your collection.

Vintage Insights

The 1999 Napa Valley vintage was marked by a long, cool growing season that produced Cabernets of structure and elegance. Many wines from this year, including BOND Vecina, continue to age gracefully, showing complexity and balance more than two decades later.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

(Rating 90-92) The 1999 Vecina, a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon offering, exhibits aromas of graphite, tar, coffee, and creme de cassis. It is more austere and less charming and seductive than the 1999 "S". This powerful, muscular Cabernet will be at its best between 2006-2020. Reviewed by Robert M. Parker, Jr. Tasting date: August 31 2002. Drinking window: 2006 - 2020.

Vinous

(like the Melbury, this is from 100% cabernet sauvignon planted in 1990) Ruby-red. Explosive, wild nose combines roasted red berries, grilled meat, tar, brown sugar, mocha and truffle. Dense but juicy, with more power and thrust than the '99 Melbury but not quite the same early appeal. Intriguing notes of smoke, herbs and truffle. Finishes with very smooth, fine tannins. Reviewed by Stephen Tanzer Tasting date: May 2003. Drinking window: N/A.
