Passion Rooted in Authenticity
Gravel Series Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
“Growing up at Round Pond, my brother Miles and I played in the vineyards and learned respect and appreciation for the land from our mother and father. Today, as owners, we are proud to continue their hard work with an eye to the future. Offering a second generation of energy and dedication, we have focused on the creation of our family’s estate wine program, and the production of artisan gourmet foods from the abundance of Round Pond’s orchards and vineyards. Our goal has always been to coax the purest and most unique aspects out of the soil and into our wines, and ten years into this endeavor, in 2012, we vinified a new series based exclusively from three unique gravel streaks running throughout our Rutherford Home Ranch and Oakville M-Bar properties. Today, these designated superior vines – picked for their ability to yield powerful yet elegant wines – and superlative winemaking have come together in the Round Pond Gravel Series.”
