Round Pond Estate "Kith & Kin" Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford, CA

Starting with some of their favorite Rutherford home vineyard wine lots, the Round Pond winemakers have carefully selected wines from neighboring appellations to create this Cabernet Sauvignon that reflects multiple characteristics of the Napa Valley. All cellar practices for this Cabernet Sauvignon are planned and performed with the goal of producing a fruit focused wine that is approachable in its youth.

A short and cool maceration period ensures well balanced tannins in this fruit focused and approachable wine. The Kith & Kin is aged in second year French oak barrels to add subtle oak characteristics as well as to accentuate the wines fruit forward flavors. This wine is bottled after 15 months to capture the youth of the wine in the bottle. A balanced Cabernet Sauvignon ideal for an evening glass to help unwind your day or for a meal any day of the week, this wine makes its intentions known with aromas of bright strawberry, raspberry, and cranberry followed by notes of black cherry, toasted oak and vanilla. The lush full entry teases the palate with a blend of red fruits and then evolves into a dark full-bodied Cabernet.
