Bond Estate Pluribus 2014

The name Bond refers to the Latin word for many, and was chosen to signify the different facets involved in creating a great wine: from the sun, soil and climate of a vineyard, to the team of people who guide a wine through its development. A stunning mountainous 7-hectare site with steep exposures to the north, east and southeast, the soil consists of volcanic bedrock. Pluribus, which debuted in the 2003 vintage, is defined as a bold, rich and concentrated wine; elements of dark plum, roasted coffee and scents of cedar are inherent throughout the vintages. The Cabernet Sauvignon wines from BOND are sourced from select hillsides and vividly demonstrate the range of Napa Valley’s finest terroirs. From the more than eighty vineyards we’ve worked with over the past quarter century, we slowly and carefully selected five sites. BOND became our covenant and shared commitment to produce only the best expression of the land. Using this valuable experience, we were able to identify select properties that we believed had the potential to define the ‘Grand Crus’ of Napa Valley. These small hillside Cabernet vineyards, ranging in size from 7 to 11 acres, became the foundation for BOND’s wines.
