Winemaker Notes
This Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a beautiful bouquet of blackcurrants, espresso, and notes of violet. An array of dense dark fruit flavors of rhubarb, dark cherry, and blackberries are layered with blackcurrants, clove, and orange peel. This is a full bodied and structured wine with well-integrated and supple tannins and a richly textured finish that coats the palate.
Critical Acclaim
V 92 Vinous
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Selection lifts out of the glass with tons of sheer intensity. Inky dark red cherry, mocha, cedar, spice and licorice are pushed front and center. This mid-weight, supple Cabernet has so much to offer. It’s a terrific introduction to the Raymond range. Drinking window: 2021 – 2030

COMMENTARY: The 2018 Raymond Reserve Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is well-built, persistent, and nicely textured. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of black fruit and oak. Pair it with a juicy, grilled ribeye. (Tasted: November 10, 2020, San Francisco, CA)

Another outstanding wine, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Reserve comes from over 20 different sites and was brought up in 37% new French oak. Redcurrants, leafy tobacco, and spice notes define the bouquet, and it’s lush, fruit-loaded, and ready to go. Enjoy bottles any time over the coming 7-8 years or so. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it evolve longer.
