Round Pond Estate Cabernet Napa Valley California 2022

Round Pond Estate, owned and operated today by the second generation of the MacDonnell Family, is a 468 acre Rutherford farm and winery that specialized in the creation of pure, expressive wines, artisan food, and unforgettable experiences – all from the heart of Napa Valley. In addition to a state-of-the-art winemaking facility and 362 acres of Rutherford vineyards, the estate includes 5 acres of gardens, 12 acres of olive orchards, and one of only two olive mills in the region. The family also owns a special 10 acre vineyard in the famed Oakville bench. Located in the heart of the Napa Valley, for more than a century the Rutherford region has been recognized for producing red wines of incomparable opulence and elegance. Although measuring a mere six square miles, this coveted winegrowing area is home to some of the oldest and most storied wineries in the United States. Within this community, we are neighbored by such acclaimed wineries as Beaulieu Vineyards, Caymus, Cakebread, Honig and Frog’s Leap.

Tasting Notes: Estate Cabernet Sauvignon opens with notes of black cherry, brambles, violet cassis, and a touch of sweet oak spice. Blueberry, blackberry, currant, and coffee harmoniously
coat the palate with a soft note of black pepper spice on the finish. Beautifully structures, this wine is smooth with great tannins and a lingering finish. It offers exceptional richness and
balance and is immediately enjoyable but will also age beautifully in your cellar.

Pairing Suggestions: Grilled Meats, Aged Cheddar Cheese, Chocolate Cake
