Round Pond Estate

Dark red cherry, plum, smoke, chocolate, gravel and mineral notes are all delineated in a wine with distinct Rutherford personality. Firm, dusty tannins support the long finish.

Full of fresh fruit and white flowers; clean and bright, with notes of melon, white peach, and pineapple crisp, beautifully balanced, finishing with minerality and tropical fruit.

Wine Spectator's James Laube "Intense, with vibrant, snappy, extracted dark berry, underbrush, fresh earth, black licorice and cedar notes. Maintains focus and ends with a persistent push of flavors."

93 PTS ROBERT PARKER, The '12 Round Pond Est Cabernet shows a black cherry and kirsh like component; full-bodied mouthfeel, sweet tannins and beautiful purity.

90 PTS WILFRED WONG. An impressive effort from an indifferent vintage, the polished '03 Round Pound slides onto the palate with excellent black fruit flavors that stay true and well-focused; tasty!

90 PTS WILFRED WONG. An fine effort from a solid vintage, the firm '02 Round Pound stays lively on the palate with tasteful ripe fruit flavors; lingers nicely in the aftertaste.
