Description
The Raymond family arrived in Napa Valley in 1933 and became connected to the Beringer family via marriage in 1936. Roy Raymond Sr. worked as winemaker for Beringer from 1933 until 1970, when he and his two sons set out on their own with the 90-acre estate property in Rutherford. The cornerstones of the Raymond portfolio, the Reserve Selection wines have upheld the family's mantra of 'deep roots, powerful wines' since the first vintage in 1974.

Tasting Notes
93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc. The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Selection is a blend taken from 14 sites across the valley. Succulent red cherry, spice, mocha and new leather are all kicked up in this juicy, mid-weight offering. The Reserve Selection is a terrific introduction to these wines. Drinking window: 2021-2029. Score - 92. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Jan. 2022)
