2014 Bond, Matriarch, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 90-92

The 2014 Matriarch is rich, supple and nuanced, with plenty of forward red cherry and purplish-toned fruit. Soft, open-knit and gracious, the 2014 should drink well pretty much right out of the gate. Even in the early going it is pretty showy. [Antonio Galloni, 01/12/2016]

Robert Parker 93

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2014 Matriarch reveals a core of crushed blackcurrants and blackberries with lovely herb and floral nuances and an earthy/damp soil waft. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is well structured with grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, framing the vibrant black fruit and earth layers, finishing long. [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 10/31/2017]

Anticipated maturity: 2018-2030
