2008 Bond Pluribus Napa Valley Red Wine [WA95][V95][WS93][JS92][W&S91]

Producer: Bond Region: Spring Mountain District, Napa Valley, California Blend: Bordeaux Red Blend  Year: 2008   Wine Advocate, 95 Points  "The 2008 Pluribus is a gorgeous wine laced with black fruit, menthol, minerals, spices and licorice. It shows fabulous density and richness through to the finish. This is a very typical Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025."   Vinous, 95 Points  "The 2008 Pluribus is the most delicate of the Bond 2008s. Hints of pine, scorched earth, toast and licorice give the wine many of its aromatic signatures. Today, the 2008 is deceptively understated. My impression is that the best is yet to come."  Wine Spectator, 93 Points  "Offers a mix of mocha, loamy earth, espresso, dried currant, blueberry, wild berry and cedary sage-charcoal notes. Full-bodied and drying, complex and concentrated."  James Suckling, 92 Points  "Eucalyptus and mint and spices with dark fruits. Hints of wood too. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit.
