Vintage Character The 2020 vintage in Napa Valley was characterized by a warm, dry growing season, which contributed to wines with notable concentration, deep color, and supple tannins.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded an impressive 97 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, Bond Pluribus 2020 exemplifies the singular power and nuance of Cabernet Sauvignon grown on the steep, forested slopes of Spring Mountain. The vineyard’s volcanic soils and dramatic elevation impart a distinctive mineral backbone and freshness, while the cooler microclimate preserves aromatic complexity. On the nose, vibrant notes of blackberry, cassis, and mountain herbs mingle with graphite and subtle violet. The palate is dense yet refined, revealing layers of black fruit, dark chocolate, and savory spice, all wrapped in a polished, finely grained texture. The persistent finish echoes with mineral and forest floor nuances. Pluribus 2020 pairs beautifully with roasted rack of lamb, wild mushroom risotto, or aged Comté cheese, and for an elegant Asian touch, Peking duck complements its depth and complexity.
