About the wine
Cloaked in a profound shade of purple, this wine presents a symphony of dark fruit aromas complemented by subtle notes of mocha and baking spice. The palate, soft and velvety, unfolds layers of black cherry, boysenberry, raspberry, and a delicate touch of vanilla bean. Well-balanced with structured and juicy tannins, it boasts a full-bodied character supported by a foundation of good acidity. The culmination is a lingering and prolonged finish, a testament to the wine's enduring presence.
The Estate Collection is a series of limited-production wines available only at the Raymond Estate. Sourced from our finest estate vineyards and longtime vineyard partners, each wine represents our winemaking team’s commitment to crafting wines worthy of our five generation winemaking legacy in Napa Valley.
