Tasting notes
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford is a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Petit Verdot and 4% Malbec. This is a beautiful Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon. Layers of gorgeous fruit and some kirsch liqueur followed by blacker currants and plums jump from the glass of this opaque ruby/purple-colored wine. Full-bodied, layered and rich, this provocative wine is actually a great value considering its stunning quality. Drink it over the next 20 years.

Clearly, a likable wine, the wine is dark in color, with a spicy, black and blue fruit, vanilla and floral profile, with a full body, round textures and in a forward style. The wine was made from a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Petit Verdot and 4% Malbec.
Fragrant and subtle with blueberry, slate and blue clay aromas that follow through to a full body, firm and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. A little short. Give it time to develop in the bottle. Better in 2018.
Round Pond's 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is fabulous. Aromatic, pliant and expressive, the 2013 is incredibly nuanced for such a young wine. Sweet red plum, wild flowers, mint and cinnamon meld together in a medium-bodied, gracious Cabernet that will drink well with minimal cellaring.
