Round Pond Estate
Estate Proprietary Left Bank Red Bordeaux Blend
Dark ruby red. Explosive Cab blend. Distinctive rivers of bing cherry, dark chocolate with the streak of vanilla and macadamia nut. Mid-palate finish. Will only get better in bottle.

Feb 13th, 2018Great blend from the team at Round Pond! This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec has structure and finesse. Dense with all the right notes of cherry, smokey oak and herbs. Long finish that just evolves with time.

2 people found it helpfulMar 30th, 2016First of the two 2014 Napa wines we tried tonight. Very impressed with this bottling.
Deep and dark ruby red. Super dark on the nose with dark cocoa, graphite, dusty, dark berries, cassis and a bit of purple floral notes. Love the palate on this bottling, powerful and extracted yet a touch elegant. Heavy tannins (7.5/.10) and full bodied. Layers of dark riverstones, cassis, dark sweet spices and a bit perfumey. Packs a punch from the alcohol side but not overpowering or unbalanced. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2029.

Nice wine, very lush and soft, low acid, tons of blue fruit, dense for a “left bank” style, definitely more CA style. Nice with our brunch table

May 16th, 2022This was quite flavorful and interesting. It had some jam, blackberry, hints of leather and smoke. It had a nice mouthfeel and a medium finish. All in all this was the standout of the night, but still young.
