The Story

Rigorous selection is employed at every stage of the wine's development. Many components, though singularly attractive and possessing lavish attributes, are not utilized in the final blends for BOND. This provides us the opportunity to create a second wine. This blend, offered under the Matriarch label, will always be evocative of its pedigree and distinct in its hillside character.

Written Notes

Moving to the 2014s, this vintage was compared to a combination of 2012 and 2013 by Bob Levey. The 2014 Matriarch functions as a second wine for the Bond releases, yet in 2014 it’s certainly beautiful in its own right. There are between 800-1,000 cases made so it should be easier to get your hands on it as well. Cassis, white flowers, spice, and hints of graphite all emerge from this full-bodied, rounded, polished, beautifully elegant 2014 that’s ideal for drinking over the coming 15+ years.
