Bond Quella Napa Valley 2010

98 points Robert Parker: "The 2010 Quella is a candidate for perfection. From the lower foothills of Pritchard Hill, it offers up notes of charcoal, graphite, espresso and copious quantities of blueberry and black raspberry liqueur, along with distinctive minerality, a full-bodied mouthfeel, moderately high tannins, gorgeous richness and a long, moderately tannic finish. Forget it for five years and drink it over the following three decades. Drink: 2018-2048. (Oct 2013)"

97 points James Suckling: "The sister winery to Harlan made wonderful, distinctive wines in 2010. The Quella is powerful, rich and savoury. Wait three or four years before drinking it. (6/10/14)"

96 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "Saturated ruby-red. Deep yet vibrant aromas of black cherry, boysenberry, licorice and violet convey a faint medicinal reserve. Plush and deep but at the same time classically dry and savory, even a bit youthfully imploded, with its seamless black fruit, mineral and licorice flavors enlivened by a captivating cool herbal nuance. Really spreads out to saturate the palate on the very long, energetic, taut back end, which features thoroughly ripe, building tannins and compelling perfume. A great vintage for this wine. Drink: 2024-2040. (May 2020)"

96 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2010 Quella is fabulous. Nuanced, delineated and yet also dense on the palate, the 2010 captures all the best qualities of this St. Helena site and the year. A rush of kirsch, super-ripe red cherry, hard candy and wild flowers add a kick of exotic intensity that is hugely appealing. A wine of charm and pure deliciousness, the 2010 will drink well for another 10-15 years. Today, it is fabulous. Drink: 2020-2040. (Nov 2017)"
