Tasting notes
One of my favorites in the lineup, the 2022 Pluribus is classic Cabernet Sauvignon in style and comes from a site on Spring Mountain, on the western side of the valley. Aged in a mix of new and used French oak, it offers smoky blackcurrants, leafy tobacco, chocolate, and iron-like nuances. It's medium to full-bodied and concentrated, with ripe tannins and a great finish. Drink this Bordeaux look-alike over the coming 15 years or more. Drink 2025-2040.

The 2022 Pluribus is the wine that has grown the most in stature since I tasted the 2022s from barrel last year. Vertical and explosive, the 2022 stains the palate with fruit. Muscular mountain tannins make themselves felt, and yet all the elements are beautifully balanced. A vivid Cabernet Sauvignon, Pluribus impresses with its layers and overall dimension.
Deep purple with staining. Classic, elegant pyrazine-driven nose with gentle green leafiness and kiss of cassis. Fresh and vibrant. Sweet-tasting black fruit and heaps of rounded building tannin cut through with long lithe acidity. Very tight but pure and gorgeous. I can't stop tasting this. (SCJ)
The 2022 Pluribus is a powerful, savory wine with a good deal of mountain structure. Graphite, lavender, menthol, licorice and crushed rocks infuse the 2022 with notable complexity and tension. Pluribus is often the most reticent of the BOND wines and the slowest to develop. I expect it will be much more fully formed next year.
