2012 Bond, Matriarch, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 92

The 2012 Matriarch is plump, juicy and generous, with plenty of dark red cherry, plums, new leather, cinnamon and floral notes. The succulent, open-knit style is a terrific example of the year. Matriarch is a blend of fruit from various sources in the BOND program that don’t make it into the vineyard-designate bottlings. [Antonio Galloni, 10/01/2015]
