ROUND POND ESTATE RUTHERFORD SAUVIGNON BLANC 2023

In the heart of Napa Valley's prestigious Rutherford region, the second-generation MacDonnell family's Round Pond Estate crafts exceptional wines from their 362-acre vineyard where unique alluvial soils—deposited over millennia by the Napa and Russian rivers and Conn Creek—contribute distinctive character to their portfolio. The terroir here, known for abundant sunshine and moderate cooling influences, creates ideal conditions for their Sauvignon Blanc, cultivated with the same meticulous attention given to their renowned Cabernet Sauvignon. This vibrant expression captivates with tropical aromas of shaved coconut and lemongrass mingling with bright lime zest, while the palate delivers a clean, focused progression from crisp grapefruit to delicate lime and lemon, evolving into a luscious mid-palate of honey and orange blossom before finishing with subtle cedar notes and refreshing acidity.
