The wine

Luscious aromas of tropical and stone fruits are complemented by delicate notes of honeysuckle and a touch of toasted oak. Creamy and textured, with refreshing balance and a hint of minerality on the finish.

Reserve Selection comes from the Napa Valley estate vineyards rather than the wider California appellation, and having both tiers side by side makes the difference between a state-wide blend and Napa fruit unusually easy to taste. The Rutherford and St Helena vineyards are certified organic and biodynamic.

The producer

Raymond Vineyards

View all Raymond Vineyards wines

The Raymond family arrived in Napa in 1933, the year Prohibition ended, and founded their own estate in Rutherford in 1970. It has grown from 36 hectares to 121 across Rutherford, St Helena and Jameson Canyon.

The Rutherford and St Helena vineyards are certified organic and biodynamic, and the winery runs entirely on renewable power, which is unusual at this scale in Napa. Rutherford is the valley's historic heart, a gravelly alluvial bench on the western side whose Cabernet carries the dusty tannic signature growers call Rutherford dust.

The range is deliberately tiered. R Collection carries the broad California appellation and is made for everyday drinking; Reserve Selection comes from the Napa Valley estate vineyards and is a different proposition entirely. Having both makes the price difference between a state-wide blend and Napa fruit unusually easy to taste.
