Product Description
RP98+ "The 2005 Pluribus is from a relatively high-elevation vineyard on the steep slopes of Spring Mountain and planted in the white tufa volcanic bedrock of that area. This is the most northern vineyard of the Bond estates, and this wine was just incredible. By far, the biggest, most backward and massive of all the 2005s, this wine behaved as if it were three or four years old, rather than 10. Dense purple, it offers notes of blueberry liqueur, St.-Estèphe-like earth, licorice and a gravelly note with incredible depth, lots of blackberries, and a finish that goes on for 45+ seconds. This is incredibly youthful and dominated by the blue and black fruits that are so much a part of the Spring Mountain AVA. This wine needs another 3-4 years of cellaring and should keep for 30-40+ years and turn out to be a fabulous classic from Bond Estate" RP for TWA June 2015
