Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points 

“Toasted oak aromas lead to good, ripe and focused blueberry and black cherry flavors in this full-bodied and moderately tannic wine. It has richness without fat, and spices up the dark fruits with black pepper and wisps of wood smoke.” 

Jeb Dunnuck, 92 Points 

“The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate comes from both Rutherford and Oakville, and it’s another beautiful wine from this estate. Lots of pure cassis, assorted blue fruits, violets, and floral notes define the bouquet, and it’s medium to full-bodied, with a pretty, elegant texture, supple tannins, and a great finish. Just classic, it’s an impeccably made Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the coming 10-15 years.” 

Wine Advocate, 91 Points 

“Round Pond’s 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate features scents of cherries, caramel and dark chocolate. Full-bodied and supple in feel, with some pleasantly grainy tannins and decent grip on the finish, it’s a solid effort for near-term enjoyment.” 

Winemaker Notes: 

“Round Pond’s flagship Estate Cabernet Sauvignon bursts from the glass with alluring aromas of bright red fruit with a hint of dark fruit and cherry cordial. Soft and approachable, this wine shows essences of sweet spices and cocoa that marry well with its bright acidity and evolving tannins. Following through with red licorice, muddled strawberry and a mouth-watering finish, it perfectly summarizes the diverse flavors found on our Rutherford Estate and Oakville vineyards. This Cabernet Sauvignon is ready to be enjoyed now and will age gracefully over time.”
