Product details
Kith & Kin Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (375ml) is a vibrant expression of the Napa Valley, crafted by Round Pond Estate with a deep-rooted philosophy of celebrating friends and family—aptly captured in the wine's Old English name, "Kith & Kin." While sourced from across Napa Valley, its core is firmly anchored in Rutherford, where the estate vineyards benefit from loose, alluvial soils enriched by volcanic deposits from the Vaca Mountains. The 2021 vintage was shaped by a second year of drought, yielding smaller, intensely flavored berries due to the dry conditions and one of the earliest harvests on record. Employing "California sprawl" trellis systems, the vineyards achieved balanced vine canopies and diverse sun exposures, contributing to the wine's layered complexity.
Bursting with bright aromatics of cassis and crushed raspberry, the wine is beautifully balanced with earthy hints of dried sage and clove. On the palate, an energetic interplay of acidity and fine tannins brings forward notes of blackberry and violet, gracefully evolving into a soft mid-palate accented by touches of cocoa. The fine-grained tannins continue to weave throughout each sip, leading to a long, rich finish. This versatile Cabernet Sauvignon pairs effortlessly with grilled lamb chops, braised short ribs, or hearty mushroom risotto, making it an ideal companion for both casual dining and special occasions.
