Bond (winery)

BOND is a Californian winery located in Oakville, California, in the Napa Valley. It was established in 1996 by Bill Harlan of Harlan Estate, and has been run by his son, Will since 2020. The winery lies in close proximity to the family's other wineries, Harlan Estate and Promontory, though its five "crus" (vineyard sites), are spread throughout the Napa Valley.

BOND produced its first wines in 1999 with Melbury and Vecina. Unlike the Harlan Estate wines, which are modelled on the wines of Bordeaux region of France, the BOND wines are made from cabernet sauvignon but inspired by the pinot noir farming and winemaking of Burgundy. Cory Empting has been the winemaker since 2012, though he has been working with the winery since the year 2000. In 2016, the wine critic Robert Parker named 2013 BOND Pluribus on his list of “20 Most Extraordinary Red Wines”.
