From magnum, in a great spot though slightly past prime. Fruit, wood, acid and tannin all integrated well at this point with fruit fading just a tad. Classic napa cab flavors and no evidence of post-harvest manipulation which I'm impressed with as this is Round Pond's first vintage.

This bottle was bangin' pretty good tonight. Clearly valley floor fruit, it was deeply ripe and juicy but without any mountain zest, pepper or tannin. I think it is at peak. Drink now or in 1-3 years.

Great bottle with solid structure. The nose was somewhat herbal with dark cherry. The palate was filled with dark berries, currant and some dark chocolate. Finish was long with soft tannins. Really good bottle all the way around.

Few primary notes, lots of smoky blueberry, leather and hints of oak. Nice but starting to slide. Drink now.
