Tasting notes
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.

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.
The 2019 Pluribus is a wine of sublime elegance. Dark blue/purplish fruit, gravel, incense, crushed rocks and lavender lend notable complexity to a mountain Cabernet endowed with tons of class and pedigree. Understated and elegant, with bright acids and beams of supporting tannin, the 2019 Pluribus is a knock-out.
The 2019 Pluribus is a seriously impressive, vertical wine that shows just how compelling Spring Mountain can be. Muscular tannins and bright acids play off dark fruit in a full-throttle, potent Cabernet Sauvignon that is all class.
