Our flagship Estate Cabernet Sauvignon bursts from the glass with alluring aromas of ripe blackberry, bright cherry and minerality reflective of our infamous "Rutherford Dust." Creamy, rich, and generous, this wine shows essences of plum and cocoa which marry well with hints of green peppercorn, licorice and tarragon. Elegant and supple, this wine illustrates refined tannins and a pleasing granite-like finish reflecting the diverse flavors found on our Rutherford estate vineyards. This Cabernet Sauvignon is ready to be enjoyed now and will age gracefully over time.

The 2017 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon is bold, rich and super-expressive, all while retaining the classic sense of mid-weight structure that is typical of the Round Pond Cabernets. Hints of tobacco, cedar, mint, dried flowers and leather add aromatic nuance to a core of sweet red-toned fruit. There is a bit of edginess to the tannin, but then again, that is 2017. All things considered, this is a fine effort for the year. Sadly, production is down about 50%.
