Score 94/100 · Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent, Jun 2022

Deep purple-black colored, the 2018 Matriarch comes tearing out of the glass with bold scents of plum preserves, baked blackberries, and cassis, plus hints of underbrush and cracked pepper. Medium to full-bodied, it is firm and bright, with tons of crunchy black fruits and a long, lifted finish.

The 2018 Matriarch is plush, sensual and enveloping. Succulent black cherry, plum and spice fill out the layers nicely in this enshrouding Cabernet. The 2018 possesses remarkable depth and exceptional balance. It's an absolute delight to taste today, and also a terrific introduction to the Bond range.

This is beautiful and very open with blackberry, currant and walnut character. Some fresh flowers, too. It’s full and flavorful, creamy and velvety. Fresh at the end. Hard not to drink now.
