100 points Robert Parker: "The 2013 Pluribus is the finest wine I’ve tasted from this vineyard to date, capturing the vintage’s extraordinary purity and richness, with a multidimensional mouthfeel and incredible notes of blue and black fruits, charcoal, graphite and white flowers. This profound effort should hit its prime in another 5-10 years and evolve for 30-40 or more. Drink: 2021-2066. (10/28/16)"
99 points James Suckling: "Dark wet earth and dark fruits such as blackberries and black licorice. Smokey. Full body. This young red takes off and shows incredible length and depth. Chewy yet fresh and intense. It goes on for minutes. What a mouthfeel. Can't wait to see how it evolves in the coming years. (1/15/16)"
96 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2013 Pluribus is a huge, dense wine. Dark fruit, chocolate, espresso, licorice, menthol and dark spice all power through as this potent, heady Cabernet Sauvignon gradually opens in the glass. At the time, new oak usage was 100%, and that is pretty evident in this tasting. Today’s new oak is closer to 50%. Drink: 2023-2033. (May 2024)"
96 points William Kelley (Decanter): "Aromas of briary fruit, rich soil tones, dried herbs and subtle torrefaction are followed by a spherical, firmly structured Cabernet with a nice core of juicy fruit. From a site above the fog line on Spring Mountain which is now dry farmed, the Pluribus is the Bond wine which shows the most obvious changes—for the better—since Cory Empting began to take the winemaking helm at the Harlan properties. It's now one of the strongest wines in the portfolio. Drinking Window: 2018-2038. (5/30/16)"
95 points Wine Spectator: "Lushly fruited, with waves of dark plum, blackberry and açaí berry compote, this rolls through with authority, unfurling extra warm earth, licorice root and alder smoke notes along the way. Shows a serious tug of terroir through the finish as the fruit keeps pace, giving this a suave hint despite the obvious heft. Blind 2013 California Cabernet retrospective (February 2023). Drink now through 2038. 458 cases made. (9/21/23)"
