Tasting Lineup

Round Pond Estate Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc

Vibrant and expressively aromatic, this Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc opens with bright notes of white peach, lemongrass, pink grapefruit, and subtle white flowers. Aged partially in stainless steel and neutral French oak, it delivers crisp acidity, juicy citrus flavors, and a clean, mineral-driven finish.

Kith & Kin Chardonnay

"Kith & Kin"—meaning friends and family—is Round Pond’s approachable, crowd-pleasing label. This Chardonnay balances fresh orchard fruit like green apple and ripe pear with delicate accents of toasted brioche, vanilla bean, and bright citrus zest.

Kith & Kin Cabernet Sauvignon

A quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet designed for easy enjoyment and rich flavor. Bursting with aromas of dark cherry, blackberry jam, subtle cocoa powder, and warm baking spices, it features supple, approachable tannins and a lush, lingering finish.

Round Pond Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The star of the lineup, showcasing the signature elegance of Round Pond's Rutherford estate roots. Deep and complex, it reveals layers of ripe cassis, black plum, graphite, and signature dusty earth notes. Structured yet silky, with refined tannins and a lengthy finish, this rich red highlights the premier winemaking power of Napa Valley.

Located in the premier Rutherford AVA of Napa Valley, Round Pond Estate is a family-owned winery and olive mill celebrated for producing estate-grown, handcrafted wines.

Known for its rich alluvial soils and famous "Rutherford dust," the estate focuses on sustainable farming practices that yield intensely flavored, beautifully balanced Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc.

Round Pond combines traditional European winemaking sensibilities with California fruit expression, creating elegant, food-friendly wines that capture the distinct character of Napa Valley.
