  December 26, 2022 - Christmas wine tasting. Excellent Bond. I’m always torn between the Pluribus and the Vecina but this wine was on point deep crimson purple with minimal bricking. Full bodied with aromas of mocha, mint, cedar, Christmas spices and cassis liqueur silky mouthfeel and a mid palate full of dark fruit, plum, coffee, and savory spices. The finish didn’t linger as long as I expected so I landed on 95. Great wine and highly recommended.

  November 8, 2021 - This wine, at this time, is not showing its best self. Everything is there but it just seems too young. After 4 hours it was settling in but seemed a bit light. Dark fruits and mocha but little tannins. It might be better in a few years and/or many more hours in a decanter.

  April 28, 2017 - Another stunning wine in the making from Cory Empting, the Pluribus is a much more masculine style of Cabernet than the St. Eden or the Vecina. Here you find the darker, somewhat more assertive side of the grape, and yet without excessive density. In fact Pluribus and St. Eden are from two sites within a few miles of each other: Pluribus is from Spring mountain, while St. Eden is from a Rutherford site across the valley but at roughly the same altitude. Apparently planed to the same clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, but a totally different expression of terroir. The wine (from barrel) is very dark in color, with a nose dominated by dried black cherry and cassis aromas, French roasted coffee, licorice, sage. That sense of a "sauvage" wine carries into the palate, which is dark and sensual, rich, very balanced and long. Again polished tannins and minerals lift and shape the seemingly endless finish. 96-97
