Bond Cabernet Sauvignon Pluribus Napa Valley 2003

Reviews

98 -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -

The 2003 Pluribus (the debut vintage of this cuvee) performed spectacularly. Created from some of the estate’s youngest vines planted in decomposed white tufa volcanic soils at an elevation of 1,100 to 1,300 feet on Spring Mountain, it offers a stunning blue/purple color, copious quantities of blueberries, black raspberries and violet-infused fruit intermixed with hints of foresty flora. Rich, full-bodied and pure, this beautiful 2003 is several years away from full maturity, but it should keep for two more decades. The single vineyard wines represent Bill Harlan’s concept of offering single vineyard, micro-climate/terroir-based wines from distinctive sectors of Napa Valley.

92 -Vinous -

Rich, sumptuous and super-expressive, the 2003 Pluribus has aged impeccably. This is a terrific showing from Pluribus in its first release. Dark cherry, plum, smoke, espresso, licorice, tobacco and menthol all fill out the wine's frame effortlessly. I don't expect the 2003 will improve materially from here, but it should drink well for another handful of years or more.

90 -Wine Enthusiast -

From Spring Mountain, a new Bond single-vineyard bottling. It's a big wine, a bit obvious and, for me, the least of the current batch. It's so big it's almost cumbersome, and lacks the breed and elegance of its sister wines. Toasty caramel overpowers, while the wine is as gooey-sweet as melted chocolate. It's a controversial wine, made from very young vines. Could be an ager.

As Bond’s flagship red, Pluribus consistently epitomizes elegance and complexity, and the 2003 vintage is no exception. Rich layers of cassis, cedar, and exotic spice unfold gradually, with a fine backbone of acidity giving clarity and lift. The tannic structure promises long life, while the wine’s generous fruit makes it compelling even in its youth.
