Wine Spectator Review: 90 Points. Pretty and fragrant, offering vibrant lemon curd and Key lime pie flavors, with honeysuckle and lemongrass details and a juicy, fleshy texture. Shows persistence on the long finish. Drink now. —M.W.
Winemaker Notes:
The Estate Sauvignon Blanc at Round Pond is made in a fresh, clean style with a good acidic back bone and a lively finish. The wine is a pure expression of the fruit without any influence from oak cooperage. The fruit is harvested at the exact right moment so that the wine has a nice balance between citrus and stone fruit aromas. The wine is made to drink early and will show its best on a summer day. 100% Sauvignon Blanc, 100% Round Pond Estate, 100% Rutherford, 100% Stainless steal, 0% Malolactic Fermentation, 0% Lees stirring. My goal with this wine is to transfer the fruit from the vineyard directly into the wine glass. I shoot for the “not-quite-tropical” fruit category. Essence of white peaches in a glass.
