2013 Bond Estate The Matriarch Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend

95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
 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. (RP) (10/2016)

Wine Advocate: 95 Points
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.

James Suckling: 94 Points
Aromas of blueberry, spice, blackberry and licorice. Full-bodied, tannic and chewy. Complex and muscular. A pretty combination of all the single vineyard wines of Bond. Try this about four years after release.
