Aromas of crushed stone, oyster shell and blackcurrants. Cement. Full-bodied. Very muscular and strong in its tannin structure. Flexing. But they give a fine texture at the same time. Very toned. One for the cellar.

The BOND Pluribus 2020 has a deep purple-black color. It needs a little swirling to unlock profound scents of blackcurrant jelly, black cherry compote, and boysenberry preserves, leading to touches of garrigue, licorice, and violets. The full-bodied palate shimmers with energy and tension, framed by fantastically ripe tannins, finishing with loads of pure black fruit and mineral layers. (LPB)

Vines rooted in Aiken loam soils on Spring Mountain are surrounded by conifer and redwoods. Fragrant mountain sagebrush and wildflowers lift out of the glass, Full-bodied with hearty, robust tannins with a multidimensional quality. Vivid blackberry fruit and mineral-rich earth build on the pleasure-packed finish. Pluribus has the most personality in the BOND portfolio in 2020, framed by a firm backbone of crisp acidity. Fresh and inviting. (JC)
