Bond Estate MELBURY
MELBURY
originates from a spectacular property on the slopes north of Lake Hennessey,
in the hills east of Rutherford.The name Melbury is in homage to an historic
area in London, where the estate owners reside much of the year. Since its
debut with the 1999 vintage, the consistent hallmarks of Melbury have been
plush red fruits (currants, bing cherries), redolent with spice and the scent
of violets. Elegance and a supple texture define the structure of this wine.
The particular exposition of this rocky 7-acre hillside vineyard is southerly
overlooking Lake Hennessey, allowing the vines to capture the morning sun yet
moderating afternoon temperatures. Soil: Ancient sedimentary soil with
compressed clay. Eastern and Southeastern Exposure. Evelation: 348-522 feet
Thanks Bond Estate!
