Raymond Reserve selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Aromas of blackberry, leather and red fruit leap from the glass. Flavors of cassis, blackberry, dried cherry, and dark ripe plums appear with notes of black licorice and a hint of fresh roasted coee bean on the palate. Supple tannins extend and highlight this full-bodied wine with nuances of caramel on the long finish.

Grapes were harvested from vineyards across Napa Valley including those planted in our Rutherford and St. Helena estates as well as valley floor and hillside AVAs. Picked in the early morning hours to maintain freshness between September 11 and October 5, the grapes went through extended maceration. The wine was aged for 19 months in 31% new French oak barrels, including Ermitage, Demptos and Seguin Moreau, before being bottled unfiltered. WINE
