Raymond Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

The Raymond family arrived in Napa Valley in 1933 and became connected to the Beringer family via marriage in 1936. Roy worked as winemaker for Beringer from 1933-1970, when in 1970, he and his two sons set out on their own with the 90-acre estate property in Rutherford where the winery is located. They released their first commercial wine under the Raymond Vineyards label in 1974 and never looked back. Today, the Raymond winery is owned by Boisset Family Estates. Jean-Charles Boisset serves as president of Boisset, one of the world’s leading family-owned wine companies, with wineries in Burgundy, Beaujolais, the Rhone Valley, the South of France, and expertise in French sparkling wines. Boisset’s August 2009 purchase of Raymond Vineyards expanded the company’s footprint in the New World, which already included properties in Canada and California’s Russian River Valley, making it one of the top twenty-five producers in the U.S.  

Aromas of raspberries, baking spice and espresso waft from the glass in this 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon. This is an opulent wine offering flavors of chocolate, cinnamon, mint, and notes of oak that linger. The texture is smooth and coats the full-bodied palate and is followed by a supple and seductive finish.
