Round Pond Kith & Kin Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2019

Categories , ,

Thomas Rivers Brown is arguably the best and most famous winemaker in the entire United States. The California native has made over 30 wines that have been scored 100 points, with the majority being Cabernets with price tags well into the triple digits.

But ever since he teamed up with the beloved Round Pond Estate, Cabernet lovers have been able to get a taste of the superstar’s abilities for a whole heck of a lot less than they did for his Schrader or Maybach Cellars Cabernets.

Sure, you’re sacrificing a few points, but to be able to lock into a 92-point Thomas Rivers Brown Cabernet for $40, is an opportunity that just about never comes around anymore, especially given that the man has done everything there is to do in wine.

Almost all of the fruit that goes into this sleek, sexy Cab Sauv comes from Round Pond’s Rutherford estate, further making this one of the best bargains you’re going to find anywhere near Napa. But because these are Round Pond’s Kith & Kin wines, first made for their family and friends, the prices are incredibly juicy.

Original price was: $45.00.Current price is: $40.00.

92 Points, Wine Spectator
Ripe and lush, but also fresh, with a very enticing beam of loganberry, açaí berry and raspberry fruit flavors driving through, flecked with anise and apple wood accents along the way. There’s focused, juicy energy through the finish.

92 Points, Tasting Panel
Dense and meaty, with an anise and roasted coffee backdrop. A parade of red and black fruit march around its upright structure. Finishes with a burnish of cinnamon cedar that keeps the palate satisfied.

92 Points, Wine Spectator – 92 Points, Tasting Panel

Double 92-point scores for this gorgeous Cabernet that spent 14 months in 40% new French barrels. That gives it some added lift, making for a wine that can be enjoyed earlier than some Cabs, but one that still offers at least a decade of fine drinking. It’s complex with inviting aromatics of ripe red fruit jump and creme de cassis, this wine storms out of the gate with bright raspberry, softening through the mid-palate with notes of toffee, cocoa, and crème brulee. The soft and smooth mouthfeel paired with fine-grained tannins effortlessly round out this young and serious, yet remarkably approachable Cabernet.
