Sitting on 368 acres of planted vineyard, Round Pond Estate and the MacDonnell family have long been an integral part of the Napa Valley wine industry. The MacDonnells bought their first piece of property in Rutherford in 1983 and up until 2002 primarily focused on farming grapes. They have a client base of about 30 wineries, and their grapes have been included in well-known brands such a Duckhorn, Silver Oak and Frank Family. In 2007 they built an on-site winery and began selling a small amount (200 cases) of their own label, but it wasn't until 2012 that Round Pond made the decision to take the brand to a national level.
