2016 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
Member price: $76-$90
Our flagship Estate Cabernet Sauvignon opens with alluring aromas of ripe blueberries, black cherry and minerality reflective of our infamous Rutherford Dust. Elegant and dark with flavors of lush blackberry preserves and rhubarb pie, this wine is supple and layered with refined tannins.
Accolades
"Round Pond's 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is gorgeous. Supple, racy and superexpressive, this wine is once again one of the very best Napa Valley Cabernets readers will find in its price range. Black cherry, chocolate, mocha, tobacco and leather add nuance, but it is the wine's balance and sense of harmony that really elevated it. This is just a fabulous bottle of wine." -- 93 points, Antonio Galloni
