About the wine
This 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon has intricate aromas, revealing layers of rich dark fruit and nuanced spice accents. Juicy blueberry, vibrant red raspberry, and succulent ripe plum dominate the palate, while gentle hints of toasted oak and creamy vanilla unfold mid-palate. The texture is velvety and full-bodied. The tannins are refined, leading to an elegant finish.
Each year, Vice President of Winemaking Stephanie Putnam and Proprietor Jean-Charles Boisset host an annual blending series at Raymond Vineyards with select influential sommeliers. Together, the sommeliers craft a unique Cabernet Sauvignon blended from the finest quality grapes. The Sommelier Selection is an exclusive on-premise offering from our iconic Napa Valley winery and a small cadre of the country’s most prestigious sommeliers.
