Delicious, high-end quality/taste for $30 Napa Cab |

Rising star Round Pond has produced solid wines, especially Cabs, for the past few years and the 2009 Napa Cabernet continues that trend at an affordable price.
Made from mostly Rutherford estate fruit, with next door neighbors including Caymus and Rubicon, this Cab exhibits amazing balance in its combination of oak, fruit, complexity and tannins. This wine is aged in 2nd year French oak barrels, which frames the wine yet really allows the rich, ripe, dark fruit to stand out and not be over-oaked. Classic Rutherford "dust" and fine tannins provide a great, coating mouthfeel. This Cab also features complex flavors of espresso, mocha, earth, and tobacco to accompany the fruit and structure.
For this price, my expectations were greatly exceeded. Delicious!
