Product details
Round Pond Estate's Kith & Kin Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 375ml is a heartfelt expression of the estate’s dedication to family, friends, and the celebrated terroir of Rutherford, Napa Valley. Taking its name from the Old English term for “Friends & Family,” this wine blends estate-grown fruit with select parcels from trusted Napa Valley growers, creating a Cabernet Sauvignon that is approachable in its youth yet rich in depth and character. Despite the challenges of the 2022 growing season—marked by a third consecutive year of drought and a significant heat wave over Labor Day—Round Pond's meticulous vineyard management, including the use of overhead sprinklers and their signature “California sprawl” trellis systems, safeguarded the grapes and allowed for the development of balanced, vibrant fruit with nuanced layers of complexity.
In the glass, this vintage reveals a lively bouquet of bright red cherry and cranberry, accented by a hint of allspice. On the palate, generous notes of cassis, blackberry, and violet unfold gracefully, underscored by the signature "Rutherford dust" that imparts a fine, earthy texture and elegance. The wine’s velvety tannins and balanced acidity carry the rich fruit flavors to a lingering, satisfying finish, making it an inviting companion for a wide range of dishes. Perfectly suited to pair with grilled lamb, rosemary steak, or wild mushroom risotto, the Kith & Kin 2022 in its convenient 375ml format is ideal for sharing at intimate gatherings or for enjoying a taste of Napa Valley’s warmth and hospitality on any occasion.
