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.

Second wine on the second night of the cruise at Chops Grille. Deep and dark purplish ruby red. Rich nose with cinnamon, cassis, blackberries, anise and spices. Medium plus tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied. Well rounded with great structure and dark gravel, black raspberries, blackberries, and tons of cinnamon. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2027. (93+)

Great 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.

Smooth, but not as bold or interesting as the RP cabs

Very bold blend. Tastes more like a cab than a blend. Thick and chewy with a long finish. Highly recommend.
