Vintage Character The 2019 vintage in Napa Valley was widely celebrated for its long, temperate growing season and mild weather, producing wines with exceptional balance, depth, and purity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded an outstanding 98 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, Bond 'Pluribus' 2019 is a single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from the Spring Mountain District, where volcanic soils and elevations ranging from approximately 1,100 to 1,700 feet contribute to remarkable intensity and aromatic lift. On the nose, this wine reveals layers of black currant, wild blackberry, crushed violets, and hints of graphite and exotic spice. The palate is powerful yet refined, with tightly woven tannins, vibrant acidity, and a core of dark fruit interlaced with espresso and mineral undertones. The enduring finish unfolds with subtle cedar and cocoa, making each sip a complex and memorable experience. Pluribus 2019 pairs beautifully with grilled lamb chops, truffle risotto, or, for an Asian-inspired accent, Peking duck, harmonizing with robust flavors and rich textures.
