The Round Pond Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 is an elegant and generous red wine. Warm earth and herbal aromas and flavors abound in this Cabernet Sauvignon, giving impressions of the rich and rustic. The nose shows artful aromas of cassis, violet, and sage, with accents of dark chocolate, wet stone, and evergreen. Fruity and spiced, the palate has layers of blackberry, anise, red fruits, cardamom, tobacco, and dark chocolate. These beautiful flavors are complemented by a balanced palate, with nice acidity and well integrated tannins. This wine will only improve with time in the cellar.
