2013 Round Pond Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Kith and Kin

Description

Old English for “Friends & Family”, Kith & Kin is a Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from all corners of the Napa Valley but with its heart rooted in Rutherford. In 1992, the MacDonnell family made its very first barrel of wine using a handpicked selection of Cabernet from their Napa Valley Vineyards. Produced for family and friends, this homemade bottling sparked the MacDonnell family’s passion for making wines and became the inspiration for today’s Round Pond Estate. – WINE & SPIRITS: 90 pts & Best Buy | 2013 Vintage

This 2013 Kith & Kin is our boldest “Napa” Cabernet to date. Beautifully balanced, this Cabernet Sauvignon makes its intentions known with aromas of fresh red berries, complemented by subtle leather, floral notes, and sweet French oak. The sweet supple entry teases the mouth with bing cherry, plum, and rhubarb. Adding complexity, the palate rounds out into a creamy cherry pie a la mode with notes of violets, thyme, and nutmeg. A lingering full finish pleases the end palate, balanced by fresh acidity and earthy notes with caramel and cocoa. – The Winery
