Note di degustazione
BOND's 2013 Matriarch is a rich, powerful wine, the 2013 Matriarch captures all of the intensity of the vintage. Even with all of its up-front fruit, the 2013 is going to need at least a few years for the tannins to soften. Vibrant red cherry, purplish fruit, wild flowers and spice notes infuse the super-expressive finish. This is a fabulous second wine. The flavors are deep, vivid and striking. None of the BOND wines can be called a value, but in 2013 the Matriarch is especially fine.

The 2013 Matriarch, which may well be the finest Matriarch made to date, could easily stand on its own as a single-vineyard offering. Made from the odds and ends of the single-vineyard wines, nevertheless this is pretty great wine, and I joked with the winemaking team that maybe their selection process was too draconian. Dense purple, with notes of mulberry, blackberry, chocolate, cocoa and espresso, the wine is dense, full-bodied, opulent, and a total hedonistic turn-on. Drink it over the next 20-25 years.
A dark, brooding wine, the 2013 Matriarch is almost too serious for a second wine. Dark blue and purplish fruit, spices, mint, licorice and lavender all open up in the glass, while firm tannins give the 2013 its contours and overall shape. The Matriarch is a terrific example of just how good the vintage is across all levels.
