"The 2011 Pluribus is absolutely magnificent. It represents a synthesis of the preceding wines in the range, marrying the freshness of the Melbury with the greater textural resonance found in the other Cabernets. This site, which is at elevation on Spring Mountain, benefitted from more favorable conditions than vineyards on the valley floor. The result is a distinctive, potent Cabernet Sauvignon that is has aged impeccably and is in the zone today." 

Decanter, 95 Points 

"Sourced from a vineyard on the lower slopes of Spring Mountain. Cleary displays its mountainous origins with a plump, forward assertiveness. Aromas of dried clay, charred cedar and huckleberry. Shows a grippy, angular texture as well as great finesse on the palate. Regal and multidimensional, this is the hardest-edged of the Bond Cabernets." 

James Suckling, 95 Points 

"This shows great depth and length. Full-bodied and rich, with hazelnut, terracotta and berry character. Wonderful texture and length. Needs time to soften but already a joy to taste." 

Wine Advocate, 95 Points 

"Displaying plenty of blueberry and black raspberry fruit, the soft, luscious 2011 Proprietary Red Blend Pluribus has more depth and concentration than it did from barrel. Full-bodied, opulent and complex, this beauty should drink nicely for 15-20 years." 

Wine Spectator, 92 Points 

"Presents a wide range of dense, taut, rich flavors, extending from ripe plum and black cherry to dill, cedar, blackberry and olive. Ends with a pleasant chewiness."
