BOND Pluribus 2008 is a distinguished Cabernet Sauvignon crafted from a single vineyard located on the esteemed Spring Mountain District in Napa Valley. Crafted by Bill Harlan, BOND focuses on small, exceptional plots that reflect their individual characteristics. This vintage presents a complex interplay of blackcurrant, dark chocolate and subtle herbal notes. The wine’s structure reveals firm tannins balanced with bright acidity.

The 2008 Pluribus is a gorgeous wine laced with black fruit, menthol, minerals, spices and licorice. It shows fabulous density and richness through to the finish. This is a very typical Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. Bill Harlan and his team make the BOND wines through long-term lease arrangements they hold with vineyard owners in a handful of top hillside sites in Napa Valley. The Melbury, Quella and Vecina vineyards are planted with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The St. Eden vineyard includes 5% Cabernet Franc that was recently grafted onto Merlot rootstocks, while the Pluribus vineyard includes 13% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc. Overall, the 2008s are less consistent than the 2009s, which are shaping up to be brilliant. I also tasted a number of 2010s from barrel with Bill Harlan and winemakers Bob Levy and Corey Empting that were striking for their purity, depth and class.
