CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2018 Pluribus captures all of the savory, mineral intensity of this site on Spring Mountain. Searing tannins, once such a challenge here, are much more finessed than in the past. Crushed rocks, mint, blood orange, gravel, exotic spice and rose petal lend tremendous complexity as the Pluribus shows off its considerable allure. This taut, mountain Cabernet Sauvignon has so much to offer. Today, it is wonderfully complete and thrilling. Even so, the best is yet to come.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
From a vineyard located on Spring Mountain, the 2018 Pluribus (a barrel sample) reveals a deep garnet-purple. Youthfully reticent, it needs a fair bit of coaxing to reveal gorgeous notions of wild blueberries, ripe black plums and warm cassis plus hints of tilled earth, truffles, menthol and tobacco leaf. The full-bodied palate is densely packed with tightly wound black and blue fruit layers, supported by firm, grainy tannins and great tension, finishing very long with loads of earthy/savory sparks.

Pluribus refers to the Latin word for many and was chosen to signify the various facets involved in creating a fine wine. Pluribus expresses the character of a 7-acre site located on the dramatic slopes of Spring Mountain, on the Western side of North Napa Valley. The soil is comprised of red, iron-rich volcanic bedrock (very similar soil to St Eden despite different location). A breathtaking mountainous site with steep exposures to the north, east and south-east. The vineyard is surrounded by a conifer forest and the vines are protected by afternoon shade. Pluribus is highest of the five Bond sites, at an elevation around 1,000 feet. Fuller, slightly more oxidative style. Deep purple hue. Massive concentration and chunky dark fruits, rounded oak, powerfully structured, a blockbuster style. Great purity of fruit. Intriguing leady aftertaste. But still retains some elegance and freshness on the finish. Very classy, beautifully made. (AWH)
