  "Another perfect wine from this incredible team is the 2019 Pluribus, a darker, richer, concentrated, yet still seamless 2019. Cassis, red plums, bouquet garni, tobacco, and assorted lead pencil and graphite notes all emerge on the nose. Full-bodied and utterly perfect on the palate, it has ultra-fine tannins, a multi-dimensional, layered mouthfeel, and remarkable purity of fruit. It doesn’t get any better. As with the Vecina, hide bottles for 5-7 years if you can. It’s going to evolve for 30 years."

  "Blackcurrants, flowers, crushed stones and some licorice. Sappy, Roasted coffee, too. Full, very structured and tannic with firmness and length. Fine, chewy tannins. Stone interface to the fruit. Great length. Highlights the greatness of Spring Mountain. Try after 2028."

  "Vines rooted in Aiken loam soils on Spring Mountain are surrounded by conifer and redwoods. It is the ripest of the Bond wines, very compact, only hinting at black fruit aromas and forest floor notes. Rich, black, satiny fruit, olive and dark chocolate are framed by long, sappy tannins and crisp acids. Dark, brooding and muscular. Delicious now, with decades to go."

  "The BOND Pluribus 2019 has a deep garnet-purple color. At first it delivers broody notions of tar, truffles, and crushed rocks, soon opening out to notes of plums preserves, blackcurrant pastilles, and iron ore. The medium to full-bodied palate has a finely grained texture and just enough freshness to frame the savory layers, finishing long and minerally."

  The Wine Advocate
  "The 2019 Pluribus originates from a site 1,000 feet above sea level on Spring Mountain. East-facing and planted in 1998 on Aiken clay loam, it's wonderfully sappy and herbal on the nose but balances those notes with ripe cherries. It's medium to full-bodied, not as rich or lush as some of the other Bond wines, but silky, suave and elegant, with a long, lingering finish laced with dried herbs and softly dusty tannins."

  Wine Spectator
  "Ripe, sleek and polished in style, with inviting boysenberry and blackberry puree notes that meld with black tea, melted licorice, singed wood spice, sage, menthol and a late tug of bittersweet cocoa. Drink now through 2036."
