Bond - Pluribus 2014

JEB DUNNUCK: "The gem of the 2014s is the 2014 Pluribus which comes from a 7-acre site on Spring Mountain. This incredible wine offers a full-bodied, seamless, perfectly balanced profile as well as heavenly notes of black and blue fruits, white chocolate, licorice. With a world class texture, fine, fine tannin, and a great finish, it’s a tour de force in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that’s as good as anything out there."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Very deep purple-black colored, the 2014 Pluribus offers up notions of crushed black plums, black currant cordial and pencil shavings over a meaty core of chargrill and beef drippings plus hints of Chinese five spice and underbrush. Full-bodied and firmly framed with chewy tannins and a lively backbone, it features plenty of earthy and savory layers, finishing long and minerally."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Los of red fruits with wet stones and wet earth on the nose. Full-bodied, chewy and powerful with a big, juicy finish. A solid and structured wine with gritty tannins. This needs time to come together. Shows more chewy tannins and fruit. Needs to soften. Better after 2021."

WINE SPECTATOR: "A chunky, chewy, extracted style, with a tight mix of loamy earth, tobacco leaf, dark berry and licorice flavors that slowly expand and gain length and dimension. Best from 2020 through 2032. 501 cases made."
