Winemakers Notes
PLURIBUS expresses the character of an estate located at an elevation over 1,100 feet on the dramatic slopes of Spring Mountain.
Critical Acclaim
98+ points Wine Advocate
The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Pluribus is from a relatively high-elevation vineyard on the steep slopes of Spring Mountain and planted in the white Tufa volcanic bedrock of that area. This is the most northern vineyard of the Bond Estates, and this wine was just incredible. By far, the biggest, most backward and massive of all the 2005s, this wine behaved as if it were three or four years old, rather than ten. Dense purple, it offers notes of blueberry liqueur, St.-Estèphe-like earth, licorice and a gravelly note with incredible depth, lots of blackberries, and a finish that goes on for 45+ seconds. This is incredibly youthful and dominated by the blue and black fruits that are so much a part of the Spring Mountain AVA. (RP, 06/2015)
94+ points Stephen Tanzer for Vinous
Bright ruby-red. Very ripe aromas of brooding blackberry, blueberry, licorice and minerals, with complementary oak spices; conveys a strong impression of soil and rocky minerality. Wonderfully dense and deep, if still a bit impenetrable. The slightly porty flavors of black fruits, minerals and menthol are still a bit youthfully monolithic and evolving very slowly. Finishes with powerful but ripe tannins and strong, nicely integrated acidity. If the Melbury reminds me a bit of Pomerol, this wine is more Latour-like. (05/2016)
92 points Wine Spectator
Packs in lots of rich, supple layers of flavor, built around fleshy currant, black cherry, plum and wild berry fruit, shaded by creamy, toasty oak. The vibrancy and concentration give this a long, persistent finish. (JL, 10/2008)
