From a vineyard of 11 acres just north of the corridor Oakville, St. Eden 2012 shows great notes cake Christmas fruit, black cherries and black currants, spice box, earth and cassis-like Pauillac and shavings Lead Pencil . Deep, full-bodied and fabulously concentrated, this stunner flirts with perfection. A little more evolved than Quella or Melbury, this wine may be the most drinkable of all offers of Bond in 2012. It should continue to evolve over the least 30 years.
