QUELLA is the name for the wine from a 9-acre site located in the eastern hills overlooking the heart of the Napa Valley.

BOND Quella label - vintage 2006

Making its debut with the 2006 vintage, the name is derived from the German word for a pristine source or an artesian aquifer. This property is steeply sloped facing southwest. The site is an ancient riverbed composed of cobble and rocks interwoven with pockets of tufa (volcanic ash) that were uplifted during the last volcanic activity in the area. Quella displays an almost ethereal quality of blue fruits, graphite, and a vibrant, subtle finish.

SOIL: Ancient uplifted riverbed covered with Tufa (volcanic ash). Southwest Exposure.

ELEVATION: 433-595 feet

Quella

Extremes not only reveal foundational character traits but sometimes also reinforce them. Such was the case with Quella, whose lattice-like soil, in this dry season, yielded perhaps the most stirring and transparent rendering yet of the vineyard’s essence.

Signature blue-fruit aromas lead the approach, followed by floral notes of lilac, bramble, and dry river stone. The inner strength of this site presents itself candidly on the palate, which immerses one in the very structure of the wine. Here, movement stretches and leaps in all directions, as absence and presence, shadow and light, perform an intricate pas de deux on the luminous stage of the senses.
