A Rutherford Estate of Wine, Food & Olive Oil
Round Pond sits in the heart of Rutherford, where the vineyards meet olive orchards, culinary gardens, and the open-air spaces where we host guests. What you taste here was grown, pressed, or cooked on the property.
Our Cabernet Sauvignon carries the structure of Rutherford and Oakville soils. The olive oil comes from Italian varietals — Frantoio, Leccino, Pendolino — milled in our own frantoio within hours of harvest. Menus follow the garden: whatever Chef pulled that morning is what shows up on the plate that afternoon.
A visit brings it together at the table, with the vineyards and the Mayacamas in view.
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon & Estate Wines
From our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon to the highly allocated Gravel Series, Round Pond wines are grounded in the character of our Rutherford and Oakville properties. Each bottle reflects the estate’s long relationship with Cabernet Sauvignon, careful farming, and a winemaking approach that lets site and vintage lead.
