Description

The 2021 Raymond Reserve Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is a vibrant and full-bodied wine that captures the essence of Napa Valley’s rich terroir. Sourced from select vineyards in Napa’s renowned sub-regions, this wine is a testament to Raymond Vineyards’ commitment to quality and craftsmanship, offering a beautifully structured and elegant expression of Cabernet Sauvignon.

In the glass, it displays a deep, dark ruby color with inviting purple tinges. The nose is aromatic and complex, offering aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and plum, layered with hints of tobacco, chocolate, and a touch of vanilla from its oak aging. On the palate, the wine is rich and velvety, with firm, well-integrated tannins and vibrant acidity that provide excellent balance. Flavors of dark fruit and subtle spice are complemented by nuances of toasted oak, leading to a long, satisfying finish.

Aged for 18 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels, the 2021 Reserve Selection Cabernet Sauvignon has developed a perfect balance of fruit and oak, with depth and complexity that make it ready for immediate enjoyment or further aging. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, it pairs beautifully with grilled steaks, roasted lamb, barbecued meats, and rich, creamy cheeses.
