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.

The 2013 Pluribus is quite massive and imposing at this stage. Still, there is plenty of intrigue. Graphite, savory herbs, black cherries, smoke and melted road tar give the wine darker shades of expression that are matched by the wine's overall power and tannic heft. The 2013 is an especially tannic Pluribus, so readers will likely have to be quite patient.
