2017 Bond, Matriarch, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Robert Parker 92

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Matriarch absolutely pops with vibrant black fruit notes and a seriously spicy undercurrent, featuring black cherry compote and warm cassis with hints of Indian spices and pencil shavings. Full-bodied, rich and exotic, the style is upfront and bold with a plush texture and hedonic finish. [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 01/14/2021]
