Introduction:
Raymond Reserve Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich and elegantly structured wine crafted from estate vineyards in Rutherford and St. Helena. Grown on gravelly alluvial soils, this Cabernet is meticulously farmed for optimal ripeness and concentrated flavors. Aged for 18 months in French oak, with small additions of Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah, it delivers depth, complexity, and a luxurious texture.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Aromas of plum, cedar, earth, and Rutherford dust.
- Palate: Dark chocolate and ripe blackberry flavors, balanced by bright acidity and integrated tannins.
- Finish: Long and satisfying, with a silky texture and lingering oak influence.
Pairings
Pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye, roasted lamb, aged cheddar, and wild mushroom risotto. Best enjoyed decanted to enhance its bold and layered profile.
