BOND PLURIBUS 750 ml

Description

Discover the commanding presence of Bond Pluribus, a red wine born from the rugged heights of Spring Mountain in California. This 2020 vintage emerges from a compact 7-acre vineyard clinging to steep slopes between 1,137 and 1,327 feet elevation. Volcanic soils and a surrounding thicket of conifer forest shape its distinctive profile, delivering remarkable intensity alongside striking minerality and firm structure. Earthy nuances weave through its core, elevating it beyond the ordinary.

Pour a glass and meet a deep purple-black hue that hints at the power within. The aroma unfolds with profound layers—blackcurrant jelly mingles with black cherry compote and boysenberry preserves, accented by garrigue, licorice, and delicate violets. On the palate, it surges full-bodied and energetic, coiled with tension from ripe tannins. Pure black fruit cascades alongside mineral threads, building to a protracted, multifaceted close that echoes with persistent minerality.

Crafted for those who seek evolution in their collection, Bond Pluribus shines brightest from 2026 through 2050. Youthful approachability tempts immediate enjoyment, yet patient cellaring unlocks greater depth over time. Critics have taken note: Decanter awards 96 points, Vinous from Antonio Galloni scores 94, and Jeb Dunnuck matches with 94 points.

To reveal its full character, decant for three hours beforehand. Serve at 16–18°C to balance its vibrancy. This wine pairs seamlessly with hearty roasted game meats, a charred ribeye steak fresh from the grill, or robust aged cheeses such as Comté and Gouda. At 14.50% ABV in a standard 750 ml bottle, it stands ready for your table or cellar, a testament to Spring Mountain's formidable terrain. Elevate your next gathering with this bold, refined red—its layered finish lingers like a promise of more to come.
